Description

Is it possible to create a new Abbreviation type in a separate package? After implementing a format method I only see the proper print out when I run the docstring through Docs.formatdoc. It doesn't seem to process it for the actual docstring (i.e., @doc) or in documenter markdown.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by comparing how Docs.formatdoc processes a custom Abbreviation with the @doc path and Documenter markdown rendering; trace where those paths diverge. Done means a separately defined Abbreviation type is processed consistently in actual docstrings and Documenter markdown.
