Hervé Boutemy commented on MSITE-802:
-------------------------------------

thanks for the example: it's a report without taking time to create a report 
plugin :)
notice reading shelldocs documentation, it looks like it directly generates 
HTML (which could directly go to target/site), but in your snippet, it 
generates Markdown and let the user find a tool to translate Markdown to html 
(that's why Markdown has to go into target/generated-site/markdown, to let 
maven-site-plugin translate it to html with site's Maven skin)

I think I'll add a section in 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/creating-content.html
 on "Generating Content" that will introduce the different ways to generate 
content

in fact, I think this will cover a long overdue documentation: how to create a 
reporting plugin?
Interesting and useful, but more complex
We're driving a new maven-site-plugin release soon for Java 9 compatibility, I 
need to work on this soon...

> Support more than one directory

> It would be great if maven-site-plugin could support more than one site 
> directory per module.  Specifically, I'm looking for a way to process 
> generated content without copying all of src/site into target where my 
> generated content is sitting or using a separate module that only handles 
> generated content to get aggregated later.
