Hi, I’m developing a [bridge sampling package](https://github.com/sqwayer/BridgeSampling.jl) and I’m struggling with automatizing the documentation. When I run make.jl, the docstrings are actually detected but I get this warning :

```julia
1 docstring not included in the manual:
│ 
│ BridgeSampling.bridgesampling :: Tuple{AbstractMatrix{T} where T, Function, Any, Any}
│ 
│ 
│ These are docstrings in the checked modules (configured with the modules keyword)
│ that are not included in @docs or @autodocs blocks.

```

and in the html file, the block (I tried with @docs and @autodocs) is not formatted so it appears as :  
`@docs bridgesampling(samples, log_posterior, lb, ub)`

What am I missing here ?  
Thanks !

I refer you to this thread:
