Configuration specific to HTML format

Important

Concepts specified below apply only to configuration of the Base Plugin (that contains Html format) and needs to be applied via pluginsConfiguration and not on the root one.

Modifying assets

It is possible to change static assets that are used to generate dokka's HTML. Currently, user can modify:

  • customAssets
  • customStyleSheets

Every file provided in those values will be applied to every page.

Dokka uses 3 stylesheets:

  • style.css - main css file responsible for styling the page
  • jetbrains-mono.css - fonts used across dokka
  • logo-styles.css - logo styling

User can choose to add or override those files. Resources will be overridden when in pluginConfiguration block there is a resource with the same name.

Dokka supports custom messages in the footer via footerMessage string property on base plugin configuration. Keep in mind that this value will be pased exactly to the output html, so it has to be valid and escaped correctly.

Separating inherited members

By setting a boolean property separateInheritedMembers dokka will split inherited members (like functions, properties etc.) from ones declared in viewed class. Separated members will have it's own tabs on the page.

Examples

In order to override a logo and style it accordingly a simple css file named logo-styles.css is needed:

#logo {
    background-image: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Ubuntu_logo.svg');
    /* other styles required to make your page pretty */
}
