# Generator 

###

#### abstract class Generator extends AnyRef

Custom Scaladoc generators must implement the `Generator` class. A custom generator can be selected in Scaladoc using the `-doc-generator` command line option. The `Generator` class does not provide data about the documented code. A number of data provider traits can be used to configure what data is actually available to the generator:

- A `Universer` provides a `Universe` data structure representing the interfaces and comments of the documented program. To implement this class only requires defining method `generateImpl`.
