+## Doc comments
 
 Doc comments are very useful for big projects that require documentation. When
 running `rustdoc`, these are the comments that get compiled into
 documentation. They are denoted by a `///`, and support [Markdown].

+## Doc attributes
+
+Below are a few examples of the most common `#[doc]` attributes used with `rustdoc`.
+
+### `inline`
+
+Used to inline docs, instead of linking out to separate page.
+
+```rust,ignore
+#[doc(inline)]
+pub use bar::Bar;
+
+/// bar docs
+mod bar {
+    /// the docs for Bar
+    pub struct Bar;
+}
+```
+
+### `no_inline`
+
+Used to prevent linking out to separate page or anywhere.
+
+```rust,ignore
+// Example from libcore/prelude
+#[doc(no_inline)]
+pub use crate::mem::drop;
+```
+
+### `hidden`
+
+Using this tells `rustdoc` not to include this in documentation:
+
+```rust,editable,ignore
+// Example from the futures-rs library
+#[doc(hidden)]
+pub use self::async_await::*;
+```
+
 For documentation, `rustdoc` is widely used by the community. It's what is used to generate the [std library docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/).

 ## Using it with docs
 
 You may have noticed in some of the [official Rust docs][official-rust-docs] a button that says "Run", which opens the code sample up in a new tab in Rust Playground. This feature is enabled if you use the #[doc] attribute called [`html_playground_url`][html-playground-url].
