Hello, The largest, glaring hole in Microsoft's offerings is a static site generator. None of its tools support Markdown out of the box (Word, OneNote, Sharepoint, etc.). DocFX IS A STATIC SITE GENERATOR on par (sort of) with things like Jekyll, GitBook, GitHub Pages, etc. Please consider pivoting DocFX from "an API doc generator from source code" to a more generally usable "Static Site Generator". Thousands of people will flock to those keywords and begin using this awesome, VERY UNDERUTILIZED tool. Thank you
