 ## Signature
 
+@apidoc[Partition]
+
 ## Description
 
 Fan-out the stream to several streams. Each upstream element is emitted to one downstream consumer according to the
 partitioner function applied to the element.
 
+## Example
+
+Here is an example of using `Partition` to split a `Source` of integers to one `Sink` for the even numbers and
+another `Sink` for the odd numbers.

+Scala
