Allow custom index filename in docgen #19949

Open SirOlaf opened 2 years ago

SirOlaf commented 2 years ago

Currently nim doc is hardcoded to use theindex.html as the index, as seen at https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/compiler/nimpaths.nim#L32

The workaround for this seems to be to create an index.nim file that imports the main file of the project to force a index.html file to be generated, which the compiler itself does here https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/compiler/index.nim

All OS support symlinks nowadays for a workaround, including Windows.
