We're continually evolving Docly to serve you better, and as part of this journey, we wish to inform our users about an upcoming change that will impact the current way of coding within our platform.

Some time in 2024, we plan to deprecate the old bracket syntax in Docly. We understand that this is a significant change and we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our users. Please note that this is a pre-notice, intended to provide initial information about what you can expect in the future.

We will be providing a detailed timeline and comprehensive guides to assist you in transitioning to the new syntax, along with practical examples to help you understand the changes better. We'll ensure that you're well-equipped to adapt to this modification without any disruptions to your workflow.

Your understanding and cooperation as we implement these improvements will be greatly appreciated. Stay tuned for further announcements regarding the timeline, resources, and additional information related to this change.

This shift is part of our ongoing commitment to streamline your development experience, as it paves the way for potential AI capabilities to assist you in your coding endeavors on Docly. Detailed information on how you can make the most of this advancement will be shared as we progress with this transition.
