+"""
+    walkdocs(f, dir::AbstractString; collect::Bool=false)
+
+Takes a directory `dir`, which is assumed to contain Documenter-generated HTML documentation,
+walks over all the files and calls `f` on each of the HTML files it find. `f` will be called
+with a single object that has the following fields (all strings):
+
+- `root`: the root directory of the walk, i.e. `dir` (but as an absolute path)
+- `filename`: file name
+- `relpath`: path to the file, relative to `dir`
+- `fullpath`: absolute path to the file
+
+If `collect = true` is set, the function also "collects" all the return values from `f`
+from each of the function calls, essentially making `walkdocs` behave like a `map` function
+applied on each of the HTML files.
