Hey folks. I'm using the latest version of Dokka. How can I override the messages on the footer in the HTML output? Thanks

Right now there is no option aside from creating a custom plugin: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0F4UNJET/p1608736576146100

As it is a fairly popular request nowadays, could you tell me how exactly you would like it customized? I might be able to change a few things to make it easier in future releases

Hi Marcin. Thanks for the explanation and for considering implementing a fix.

I'd rather have no footer or be able to customise both messages in it. I don't have any preference between those two.

I don't like the first message (2020 Copyright) because 2020 seems to be hardcoded and it doesn't really say who's the copyright owner, so I'm not sure it has any legal validity.

I also don't like the second message (Sponsored and developed by dokka) because it sounds like "dokka" is the organisation that sponsors and develops the Kotlin project I'm documenting. A more appropriate message would be "Generated with dokka", for example.

Ok, i've created an issue covering that: https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/1689

I think this is a popular case and a fairly low hanging fruit so we should be able to to it fairly quickly

Thanks Marcin!
