### `--document-hidden-items`: Show items that are `#[doc(hidden)]`
<span id="document-hidden-items"></span>
By default, `rustdoc` does not document items that are annotated with
[`#[doc(hidden)]`](write-documentation/the-doc-attribute.html#hidden).
`--document-hidden-items` causes all items to be documented as if they did not have `#[doc(hidden)]`, except that hidden items will be shown with a 👻 icon.
Here is a table that fully describes which items are documented with each combination of `--document-hidden-items` and `--document-private-items`:
| rustdoc flags | items that will be documented |
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| neither flag | only public items that are not hidden |
| only `--document-hidden-items` | all public items |
| only `--document-private-items` | all items that are not hidden |
| both flags | all items |

Any item annotated with `#[doc(hidden)]` will not appear in the documentation,
unless the [`--document-hidden-items`](../unstable-features.md#document-hidden-items) flag is used.
You can find more information in the [`re-exports` chapter](./re-exports.md).
