What did you do?

I fired up godoc with godoc -http=":6060" &, and tried to access the page for net/http. I also tried net, os and encoding/json.

What did you expect to see?

I expected the pages for net/http and encoding/json to function normally.

What did you see instead?

/src/encoding/json/encode.go:963:18: expected '(', found '['
found packages http (alpn_test.go) and main (triv.go) in /src/net/http
os,net and encoding all worked normally.

cc @alandonovan @findleyr, I guess?

@achenet per #59056, we're working on getting x/pkgsite/cmd/pkgsite up to the point where we can delete godoc.

Is there a reason you can use cmd/pkgsite?

[achenet]

hi, thanks for the replies. I didn't know about pkgsite, thanks for letting me know, I'll give it a go :)
