Is it possible to provide your own renderer extension for Jekyll? I couldn’t figure out how to provide my renderer to dokkaJekyllPlugin.

Yep, my team is doing it like so:

class TargetDokkaGfmPlugin : DokkaPlugin() {

  val renderer by extending {
    (
      CoreExtensions.renderer
        providing { TargetGfmRenderer(it) }
        override plugin<GfmPlugin>().renderer
      )
  }
}

class TargetGfmRenderer(
  context: DokkaContext
) : CommonmarkRenderer(context) {
  // Custom rendering here
}

How do you link it to the gfm plugin from Gradle?

[simon.vergauwen]

That’s pretty much what I have already. I’m missing the part how you set it up in Gradle

[simon.vergauwen]

Oh I see, I think I had to do override plugin<JekyllPlugin>().renderer

[Bryan Herbst]

I believe the only thing we need to do was apply this in each module with Dokka enabled:

dependencies {
  dokkaPlugin(project(":your-dokka-gfm-module"))
}
