typedoc-plugin-extras

This plugin only works for HTML documentation.

A TypeDoc plugin to add extras to the output documentation.

It allows you to:

• Add the date/time of generation after "Generated using TypeDoc" in the footer. (cf. the example below)
• Set a custom top-most title name (without changing the package name, like --name would do).
  • For example, you could have --customTitle "Go back" --titleLink <url-of-your-parent-documentation>
• And more... (cf. the list of arguments below)

No date/time will be added if --hideGenerator is set (because the footer wouldn't exist).

All extras are disabled by default: they are opt-in.

Feel free to ask for another extra or to make a PR 😉

[!IMPORTANT]
TypeDoc now natively supports specifying a favicon. Consequently, the --favicon option in this plugin has been removed to prevent conflicts.
