Documenting a multi-module project was always tricky due to the size, complexity and interconnections within such codebases. This is especially true in the case of Dokka, a documentation engine for Kotlin, performing the same function as Javadoc for Java. With 1.4.30 we’ve rewritten the multi-module documentation, so let’s dig a little deeper into the design and the thought process behind it!

Working on open-source software can be a very rewarding experience. Whether you contribute to a particular library that you use daily or just to learn something new out of plain curiosity. The scalafmt is an example of an open-source project that is very mature and well managed.

Scala 3, like all modern languages, needs a tool for generating documentation. Scaladoc, the documentation engine used with Scala 2, is stable and powerful, but it cannot be used ‘as is’ in the Scala 3 world.
