What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/tylerbrandt/godoc-example@v0.0.0-20240215181740-7b2d44c96bd8/app

What is your user agent?

Tested on Safari (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.3 Safari/605.1.15) and Chrome

Screenshot

What did you do?

See linked repo which includes:

• an app/main.go file (package main) including a documented function SayHello
• an app/goodbye.go file (package main) including a documented function SayGoodbye
• a lib/hello/hello.go file (package hello) that includes a documented function SayHello

What did you see happen?

SayHello function in package hello has generated docs (link); SayHello and SayGoodbye functions in package main are not ("There is no documentation for this package"; link).

What did you expect to see?

All 3 documented functions have generated docs. I didn't see any particular behavior of pkgsite which is documented as being different for the main package.

main packages aren't importable, so there's nothing exported, so nothing to document.
