This plugin adds README.adoc support to typedoc. To use this plugin specify the readme option for typedoc.

tsconfig.json

{
  "typedocOptions": {
    "entryPoints": ["src/index.ts"],
    "out": "docs",
    "readme": "README.adoc",
    "excludePrivate": true,
    "plugin": [ "@ink-feather-org/typedoc-plugin-asciidoctor" ]
  }
}

Known issues

Typedoc runs the output of asciidoc through a markdown renderer. Unfortunately there is nothing a plugin can do about that. This sometimes causes rendering issues.

What this plugin does:

Take a 'README.adoc' and render it to 'html' before sending it off to typedoc which then passes it to the output generator.

What this plugin does NOT do:

Add support for typedoc to generate '.adoc' output.

In other words

This plugin does NOT enable you to use ascii-doc in the javadoc comments ONLY in the README. It also does NOT generate '.adoc' output. It only integrates an existing 'README.adoc' into the typedoc output.

Try the example

Steps:

  1. Clone the repo

  2. cd into example

  3. pnpm i

  4. pnpm run docs

  5. Verify that the typedoc generated correctly

Only try to integrate my plugin into your project after you have verified that the example works.
