Editing Javadoc (section)

== Doclets ==
A Doclet program works with Javadoc to select which content to include in the documentation, format the presentation of the content and create the file that contains the documentation.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/javadoc/doclet/overview.html | title=Doclet Overview }}</ref> A Doclet is written in Java and uses the {{Javadoc:SE|jdk/javadoc/doclet|name=Doclet API|module=jdk.javadoc}},

The {{Javadoc:SE|jdk/javadoc/doclet|StandardDoclet|module=jdk.javadoc}}[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/javadoc/javadoc-command.htm#JSJAV-GUID-04BFA924-7C45-4E9C-91D1-0B77D97E65AB] included with Javadoc generates [[API]] documentation as frame-based [[HTML]] files. Other Doclets are available on the web {{Citation needed|reason=Is this still true today?|date=December 2017}}, often for free. These can be used to:
* Create other types of documentation (non-API)
* Output to a format other than HTML; such as [[PDF]]
* Output as HTML with additional features such as a search or with embedded [[Unified Modeling Language|UML]] diagrams generated from the Java classes
