Base extensions

DokkaBase class is a base plugin which defines a number of default implementations for CoreExtensions as well as declares its own, more high-level extension points to be used from other plugins and output formats.

It's very convenient to use extension points and defaults defined in DokkaBase if you have an idea for a simple plugin that only needs to provide a few extensions or change a single extension point and have everything else be the default.

DokkaBase is used extensively for Dokka's own output formats such as HTML, Markdown, Mathjax and others.

You can learn how to add/use/override/configure extensions and extension points in Introduction to Extensions, all the information is applicable to DokkaBase plugin as well.
