Hi folks, after about 20+ years I finally got around taking a closer look at doc package and one ore the other extension that has been written based on it. Given that on one hand doc is missing a lot of useful functionality but on the other hand 2/3 of the LaTeX packages use .dtx based code I thought it isn't advisable to change anything that exists but only provide a modest update that offers some in my opinion useful features without rendering existing documentation obsolete. Speaking of not changing anything: of course any addition is a change and while \NewDocElement is probably safe other bits may not be and that might call for some adjustments. So basically I added hyperref support out of the box and integrated some of the ideas from the dox package by Didier Verna (though I didn't keep his interfaces). The latter allows addition doc-elements so that you can structure the documentation properly and obtain a more useful index according to your needs, eg document options, counters lengths etc and have them indexed in various ways. Out of the box, doc will still only offer Macro and Env but this way it is now trivial to customize this on a per package basis. I have tested this on various documentation already, but of course some wider tests are advisable before I will move that (or rather a later version as I'm still working on code and documentation) into the main LaTeX distribution. So I'm looking for people trying this out on their own packages and report any problems or suggestions back to me, preferably via the github issue tracker. The code is located at https://github.com/FrankMittelbach/fmitex/tree/master/doc-v3 for those who want to give it a try thanks frank ps the new code uses the new rollback functionality of the 2018-04 release of LaTeX, even though you can use the package with an older LaTeX release. But if you have a current one then \usepackage{doc}[v2] should always get you back the older version and thus should run any old package code. (Of course that only works if you use the 2018 version of the LaTeX kernel)
