Again, the point is not to write code to write docs. See the other comments.


That would also be the point of what I described. You're not writing code, you're writing comments. Those comments are consumed by a structured static site generator. What linode does has nothing to do with code other than using a markdown linter and a pipeline.


Of course docs are code. The fact that English still doesn't have a compiler to machine code doesn't mean it won't move registers in your brain. There's already a pretty good interpreter in our heads and it's called Wernicke's area. ;-)
