    Generate GTK API reference(s) with gi-docgen · 0ba2a3a1

    Stop using gtk-doc, and switch to gi-docgen.
    
    The gi-docgen tool generates API references through the introspection
    data, which has various benefits:
    
     - it does not parse C code
     - it does not generate and run C code to introspect types at build time
     - it does not present a different API from the one we're exporting
    
    Additionally, gi-docgen:
    
     - does not generate DocBook XML in order to generate HTML
     - does not go through xsltproc
     - parses proper Markdown
    
    Which makes it markedly faster than gtk-doc has ever been.
