In theory [[Documentation](https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/stable/lib/internals/writers/#Documenter.Writers.HTMLWriter.HTML), [2016 merged pull request](https://github.com/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl/pull/388) ] it is possible to simply pass `analytics = "G-XXXXXXXXXX` to the `makedocs` call, but I receive instead the warning: `Unknown keywords: analytics = G-XXXXXXXXXX` and no Google analytic code is built in the documentation. Where am I wrong ?

You need to pass that kwarg to `HTML()`, not `makedocs`, as the docs indicate. See e.g. [here](https://github.com/SciML/DiffEqDocs.jl/blob/76c509a992d0f0ad82d4b7bf47a647788b0c5017/docs/make.jl#L17).
