@category not working for functions within modules

[geethika18]

Requirement
Within a module, there should be a way to classify/categorize the functions - ex: content creation functions, content editing functions etc.

Tried out something similar to what was mentioned in #566

But @category tag was taking effect only on classes.

Am I correct to assume by module you are referring to a file defined similar to the below?

/**
 * @category SomeCategory
 **/
function myFunction() {
}

Related to #866

Hi @aciccarello,

I have a ts file defined as below

namespace ABC{

/**

• @category abc.1
  */
  export function1() {
  }

/**

• @category abc.2
  */
  export function2() {
  }
  ...
  }

My requirement is to have these categories produce different pages or even different sections within the same page. Please help me out with the same.

Can I get some help here?

I don't believe this is supported with the default theme yet, #866 might resolve this.

[jonchardy]

Yes, see #866. I'm willing to help make some changes here, but need some input on desired behavior.

Hi @jonchardy,

Thanks for volunteering. So here's my use case

test.txt

When typedoc is run the output should have 2 sections - category 1 and category 2 - all the methods should be grouped together based on category.

Thank you!

Expected output

The theme used is same, but in 2nd case I had to duplicate my input file which is basically a weird work-around. Please suggest me the right approach.
