+
+Description
+-----------
+
+..
+  The API of the entity.
+
+Interface
+---------
+
+..
+  The declaration or signature of the entity.
+
+.. cppkokkos:class:: template <class DataType, class... Traits> CoolerView
+
+  ..
+    Template parameters (if applicable)
+    Omit template parameters that are just used for specialization/are deduced/ and/or should not be exposed to the user.
+
+  .. rubric:: Template Parameters
+
+  :tparam Foo: Description of the Foo template parameter
+
+  ..
+    Parameters (if applicable)
+
+  .. rubric:: Parameters
+
+  :param bar: Description of the bar parameter
+
+  .. rubric:: Public Types
+
+  .. cppkokkos:type:: data_type
+
+    Some interesting description of the type and how to use it.
+
+  .. rubric:: Static Public Member Variables
+
+  .. cppkokkos:member:: int some_var = 5;
+
+    Description of some_var
+
+    ..
+      If you have related info
+
+    .. seealso::
+
+      ..
+        We can cross-reference entities
+
+      The :cppkokkos:func:`frobrnicator` free function.
+
+  .. rubric:: Constructors
+
+  .. cppkokkos:function:: CoolerView(CoolerView&& rhs)
+
+    Whether it's a move/copy/default constructor. Describe what it does.
+
+  ..
+    Only include the destructor if it does something interesting as part of the API, such as RAII classes that release a resource on their destructor. Classes that merely
+    clean up or destroy their members don't need this member documented.
+
+  .. rubric:: Destructor
+
+  .. cppkokkos:function:: ~CoolerView()
+
+    Performs some special operation when destroyed.
+
+  .. rubric:: Public Member Functions
+
+  .. cppkokkos:function:: template<class U> foo(U x)
+
+    Brief description of the function.
+
+    :tparam U: Description of U
+
+    :param: description of x
+
+    ..
+      Describe any API changes between versions.
+
+    .. versionchanged:: 3.7.1
+
+      What changed between versions: e.g. Only takes one parameter for foo-style operations instead of two.
+
+  ..
+    Use the C++ syntax for deprecation (don't use the Kokkos deprecated macro) as Sphinx will recognize it. We may in the future
+    add extra parsing after the html is generated to render this more nicely.
+
+  .. cppkokkos:type:: [[deprecated("in version 4.0.1")]] foobar
+
+    Represents the foobar capability.
+
+    .. deprecated:: 4.0.1
+
+      Use :cppkokkos:type:`foobat` instead.
+
+  .. cppkokkos:type:: foobat
+
+    A better version of foobar.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 4.0.1
+
+
+Non-Member Functions
+--------------------
+
+..
+  These should only be listed here if they are closely related. E.g. friend operators. However,
+  something like view_alloc shouldn't be here for view
+
+.. cppkokkos:function:: template<class ViewSrc> bool operator==(CoolerView, ViewSrc);
+
+  :tparam ViewDst: the other
+
+  :return: true if :cppkokkos:type:`View::value_type`, :cppkokkos:type:`View::array_layout`, :cppkokkos:type:`View::memory_space`, :cppkokkos:member:`View::rank`, :cppkokkos:func:`View::data()` and :cppkokkos:expr:`View::extent(r)`, for :cppkokkos:expr:`0<=r<rank`, match.
+
+.. cppkokkos:function:: void frobrnicator(CoolerView &v) noexcept
+
+  :param: v the :cppkokkos:class:`CoolerView` to frobnicate
+
+  Frobnicates a CoolerView.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+..
+  It may be useful to also have examples for individual functions above.
+
+  Prefer working and compilable examples to prose descriptions (such as "Usage").
+
+.. code-block:: cpp
+
+  #include <Kokkos_Core.hpp>
+  #include <cstdio>
+
+  int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
+     Kokkos::initialize(argc,argv);
+
+     int N0 = atoi(argv[1]);
+     int N1 = atoi(argv[2]);
+
+     Kokkos::View<double*> a("A",N0);
+     Kokkos::View<double*> b("B",N1);
+
+     Kokkos::parallel_for("InitA", N0, KOKKOS_LAMBDA (const int& i) {
+       a(i) = i;
