Removal of documentation section (title)? #201
-
Hi @simonbrowndotje, Following the latest couple of releases, I have a question about the support for documentation sections. In version The removal of the title from documentation sections is a breaking change for Structurizr Site Generatr, as we use it for links to documentation sections in the menu, and in the "Documentation" overview for a software system (example). Removal of documentation sections entirely would be a breaking change as well, because we would either have to remove the documentation feature from the site generator, or find another way to include documentation in the generated site. So my question is: Could you clarify what your plans are, regarding support for documentation in Structurizr? |

In this situation, having a The Structurizr renderer also depends on titles (e.g. https://structurizr.com/share/31/documentation), but those titles are now just extracted from the content at runtime. This is a much simpler approach, and removes the 1 section = 1 file restriction.
That was a typo - sorry! It should read "documentation section titles" rather than "documentation sections". 😀 |
