| # Stardoc - Starlark Documentation Generator |
| |
| [](https://buildkite.com/bazel/stardoc) |
| |
| Stardoc is a documentation generator for [Bazel](https://bazel.build) build rules |
| written in [Starlark](https://bazel.build/docs/skylark/index.html). |
| |
| Stardoc provides a Starlark rule (`stardoc`, see [documentation](docs/stardoc_rule.md)) that can |
| be used to build documentation for Starlark rules in Markdown. Stardoc generates one documentation |
| page per `.bzl`file. |

| details on the deprecation and migration details. |
| |
| ### Future plans |
| |
| See our [future plans](docs/future_plans.md) for refactoring Stardoc to be more consistent with how Bazel evaluates .bzl files, and what it means for maintenance of this project. |
