Question: How does $(EXPORTS) work?

[fsaad]

The doc string of the Documenter module uses $(EXPORTS) to automatically generate a list of names exported by the module:

Documenter.jl/src/Documenter.jl

Line 11 in 71e9f40

$(EXPORTS)

When I try to replicate this code in a fresh project (say Example.jl), I receive the error

~/Example.jl/docs% julia make.jl
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: EXPORTS not defined

How can I access the EXPORTS variable? I could not find it defined anywhere in the Documenter.jl repository:

~/Documenter.jl% git grep 'EXPORTS'
src/Documenter.jl:11:$(EXPORTS)

It's from DocStringExtensions: https://docstringextensions.juliadocs.org/latest/#DocStringExtensions.EXPORTS

Thanks @mortenpi, I will close the issue.
