+[//]: # (title: Introduction)
+
+Dokka is an API documentation engine for Kotlin.
+
+Just like Kotlin itself, Dokka supports mixed-language projects. It understands Kotlin's
+[KDoc comments](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-doc.html#kdoc-syntax) and Java's
+[Javadoc comments](https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/java/javadoc-tool.html).
+
+Dokka can generate documentation in multiple formats, including its own modern [HTML format](dokka-html.md),
+multiple flavors of [Markdown](dokka-markdown.md), and Java's [Javadoc HTML](dokka-javadoc.md).
+
+Here are some libraries that use Dokka for their API reference documentation:
+
+* [kotlinx.coroutines](https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/)
+* [Bitmovin](https://cdn.bitmovin.com/player/android/3/docs/index.html)
+* [Hexagon](https://hexagonkt.com/api/index.html)
+* [Ktor](https://api.ktor.io/)
+* [OkHttp](https://square.github.io/okhttp/4.x/okhttp/okhttp3/) (Markdown)
+
+You can run Dokka using [Gradle](dokka-gradle.md), [Maven](dokka-maven.md) or from the [command line](dokka-cli.md). It is also
+[highly pluggable](dokka-plugins.md).
+
+See [Get started](dokka-get-started.md) to take your first steps in using Dokka.
+
+## Community
+
+Dokka has a dedicated `#dokka` channel in [Kotlin Community Slack](https://surveys.jetbrains.com/s3/kotlin-slack-sign-up)
+where you can chat about Dokka, its plugins and how to develop them, as well as get in touch with maintainers.
