Initializes a new instance of the [DocumentationManager](/api-reference/CloudNimble/DotNetDocs/Core/DocumentationManager) class.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public DocumentationManager(CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core.ProjectContext projectContext, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core.IDocEnricher> enrichers = null, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core.IDocTransformer> transformers = null, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core.IDocRenderer> renderers = null, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core.IDocReferenceHandler> referenceHandlers = null)
