What's responsible for generating the sidebars on pages such as Hexagon and Ktor? I'm trying to apply Dokkatoo to my project but not getting any sidebar 😞

[Adam S]

are you opening the HTML file directly, or via a HTTP server (e.g. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/php-built-in-web-server.html)?

Or is it a problem on mobile? https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/2965

sorry, yeah I opened the file directly 🙂 After opening it through intelliJ it rendered correctly (and now published to ks3.io it also looks good)

OT.. do you know if there's currently any way to pass configuration to the all-modules-page plugin through dokkatoo? Basically I want to use an includes to add some docs on the root index.html

[Adam S]

do you want to pass the includes?

[Adam S]

something like this should work

dokkatoo {
  dokkatooPublications.named("main") {
    includes.from("my/custom/file.txt")
  }

  dokkatooPublications.configureEach {
    includes.from("my/custom/file.txt")
  }
}

Tyvm, I’ll try that :)

[Adam S]

no problem, let me know how it goes :)

[Emil Kantis]

worked 💯 planning to add the usual getting started info on the root page 🙂

[Adam S]

nice!
