Plans to support HTML in the WASM / JS implementation?

[nberlette]

Hey Deno Team,

I'm curious if there's any plans on the horizon to support HTML docs generation from within the WASM/JS implementation. Not sure if this is even possible... so forgive me if I sound like a noob, but being able to generate HTML docs programmatically would be a dream come true.

My primary need for a feature like this is probably a bit niche. But it's for a custom GPT I'm currently working on, which uses an external API endpoint to provide users with the in-chat capabilities to format users code, write them a README, and hopefully generate a static HTML site for their documentation.

The API endpoint runs on Deno Deploy, so it goes without saying I don't have access to the CLI features. I've got the formatting worked out with the deno_fmt module I published somewhat recently (forgive the shameless plug), but the HTML docs aspect of it has me a bit stuck. Having a feature like this would save me quite a bit of time and energy, so I don't have to re-invent the wheel and write my own HTML codegen from the deno doc JSON.

I assume it would have to be outputted similarly to the doc() output, or the transpile() output from deno_emit (mapping file paths to code), since accessing the local file system would be out of its scope.

Like I said, not sure if it's even possible. My knowledge of Rust is severely limited, but I'm looking to fix that this year 😜.

Anyway, that's enough rambling. Thank you for your time!
