I was only looking at a small part of the documentation. What I was hoping was that there was a tag in the apt or vm processing that would allow us to insert text. And then figure out how to load that text from the application itself. There are several outputs that would be good to generate.
But I have also thought about how to revamp the entire documentation building/maintaining exercise. But I am not a documentation expert so I am hoping we can find someone to assist who has the experience. On Sat, May 4, 2024 at 9:11 PM P.
