Ah, yes, we are bundling our processor directly in a NAR. Our first
grunts and groans in NiFi were guided by
http://www.nifi.rocks/developing-a-custom-apache-nifi-processor-json/
I got the impression that NAR replaced JAR.
So, this is the first I've heard it intimated that it could happen
otherwise. I'm not sure how to embed a JAR inside a NAR and haven't
looked yet, but is there a sample /pom.xml/ that I could go off of? That
would save me a lot of time tinkering.

Russell,
So something isn't quite right. The index.html page is automatically
generated and you should also see the additionalDetails.html that is
packaged in your Processor JAR that is in your Bundle NAR.
For instance, the PutSolrContentStream Processor that Bryan had
previously mentioned.
$ ls -l org.apache.nifi.processors.solr.PutSolrContentStream/
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgilman staff 1948 Mar 7 16:35 additionalDetails.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgilman staff 4975 Mar 7 16:35 index.html
Are you bundling your Processor directly in a NAR (without the
Processor JAR)?

Russell,
It doesn't appear that your Processor is appearing in the
documentation at all. Do you see a folder for your Processor in
<NIFI_HOME>/work/docs/components?

Thanks for your reply. No, indeed, I'm not seeing that (which
doesn't exclude that I'm doing something wrong). Here's me
getting there. Note I'm searching for "additional" on the
page which doesn't exist.

Russell,
Just want to confirm what you are seeing... so when you
bring up the usage for your processor, you see the normal
documentation, but you don't see an "Additional Details..."
link at the top of the page?
One example I know of is the PutSolrContentStream processor:
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi.processors.solr.PutSolrContentStream/index.html
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi.processors.solr.PutSolrContentStream/additionalDetails.html

Just getting back to this...
I have so far been unable to get the Advanced "Usage"
documentation feature to work in any of my processors.
Whether I right-click on the processor in the workspace
and choose Usage or click Help in the workspace, I get
nothing that resembles or contains what I've got in
/additionalDetails.html/.
The most important bits of my processor are illustrated
below. I think they match the documentation in
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/developer-guide.html#advanced-documentation
.

The nifi-nar-maven-plugin appears to put this where it
belongs:
