Generates HTML API documentation for Groovy source, and optionally, Java source.
This task uses Groovy's Groovydoc tool to generate the API documentation. Please note that the Groovydoc tool has some limitations at the moment. The version of the Groovydoc that is used, is the one from the Groovy dependency defined in the build script.

Property<GroovydocAccess> access
Property<GroovydocAccess>The most restrictive access level to include in the Groovydoc.
For example, to include classes and members with package, protected, and public access, use GroovydocAccess.PACKAGE.

Property<JavaLauncher> javaLauncher
Property<JavaLauncher>Note: This property is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

The Java language version used when parsing Java source files, e.g. <UNHANDLED-LINK>JavaLanguageVersion#of(int) JavaLanguageVersion.of(17)</UNHANDLED-LINK>.
Groovydoc uses the JavaParser library to read Java sources; this controls the source level it assumes, which is needed for parsing newer Java language constructs (for example, sealed classes require Java 17). When unset, Groovydoc uses the JavaParser library's own default.
Only has an effect with Groovy 4.0.27 or later; the option is silently ignored with earlier Groovy versions.

- Default with
groovyplugin: null
Note: This property is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.
The default language id applied to preformatted code blocks in rendered doc comments that carry no class attribute.
When set (for example, "groovy"), a post-pass adds class="language-xxx" to the opening tag of such
blocks, enabling syntax highlighting for legacy doc-comment code blocks without touching source files. Blocks that
already carry any class attribute are left alone.
