Facing the issue of being unable to use Ktlint old version (0.45.2) for KDocs.

[jainv4156]

I am using Ktlint version (0.45.2) and Kotlin (1.6.10). I want to use Ktlint for KDocs, but Ktlint is unable to detect any errors in the KDocs.
This is how I am using Ktlint in my project:

script

java -jar $jar_file_path --android --verbose --experimental --debug app/src/main/java/../ActivityRouter.kt

editorconfig file

[*.{kt,kts}]

indent_size = 2
ktlint_kdoc_style = true

Indeed this is a very old version of ktlint that you are using. I hope you can understand that no support is given on that anymore. Try to upgrade to a newer version (latest version at this moment is 1.4.1) and check whether KDocs are still not checked.
Also it will help if you provide an example file, and the expected output.

Your code sample above is not formatted properly. Please put it in a code block. Also, you don't make clear what you expect in the output. I can start guessing, but I rather would like to know your expectations.
