About

Pass the plug-in name to jsdoc2md or dmd:

jsdoc2md --plugin dmd-readable

This plugin (which was used to generate this readme) does a few things:

  • removes global indexes (see below)
  • places descriptions in block-quotes (Use @summary for descriptions without block quotes)
  • adds more whitespace before headings
  • changes the delimiter for multiple types in param tables to a comma
  • adds alias output

The removal of global indexes is now a setting in the template. If you are using your own template and you wish to retain this feature, add the following line to your template:

{{optionSet "global-index-format" "none"~}}

All options for global-index-format are "none", "grouped", "table", "dl". Other options and more info can be found here.
