Hi, does Dokka v2 support documenting the root module in a multi-module project, so the module overview page can be made more useful?

Yes: https://uuid.softwork.app/

I’ll have to check what I missed during my tests…

[Waldemar Kornewald]

Thank you for the example code

Alright, the difference is that I used dokkaSourceSets which works for individual modules, but the root module needs dokkaPublications. The migration guide actually mentions it, but why is there such an inconsistency at all?

but why is there such an inconsistency at all?

historical reasons on how Dokka configuration evolved:
1. from jvm-only - where there was single sourceset and so single includes
2. to multiplatform - with multiple sourcesets each having includes
3. to multi-module - where additional includes in root configuration, for multi-module case was introduced, as there is no sourcesets in aggregate module
