# Class StandardDoclet

java.lang.Object
jdk.javadoc.doclet.StandardDoclet

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Doclet`

public class StandardDoclet extends Object implements Doclet
This doclet generates HTML-formatted documentation for the specified modules, packages and types. It is the doclet that is used by the javadoc tool and the system documentation tool when no other doclet is specified to be used.

## User-Defined Taglets

The standard doclet supports user-defined `taglets`, which can be used to generate customized output for user-defined tags in documentation comments. Taglets invoked by the standard doclet must return strings from `Taglet.toString` as follows:

Inline Tags
  The returned string must be flow content, or any valid fragment of HTML code that may appear in the body of a document. There may be additional constraints, depending on how the tag is to be used in a documentation comment: for example, if the tag may be used within an inline element such as `<b>` or `<i>`, the taglet must not return a string containing block tags, like `<h3>` or `<p>`.
Block Tags
  The returned string must be suitable content for a definition list, or `<dl>` element. It will typically be a series of pairs of `<dt>` and `<dd>` elements.
