I’m using Documenter.jl for a package MyPkg.

This works:

```julia
MyPkg.somefunction

```

But this doesn’t:

```julia
MyPkg.SubModule.otherfunction

```

This is despite having `modules = [MyPkg, MyPkg.SubModule]` in my `makedocs` call in my make.jl file.

What am I missing here?

You need to add

```julia
using MyPkg.SubModule

```

explicitly in the `make.jl` file. (In your case I think `using MLJ.Transformers` is missing)
