Description

If we#d use mkdocs for generating docs we could use the approach represented in https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/discussions/3487#discussioncomment-7681213 potentially to free our self from manually updating supported threats defined in https://github.com/OWASP/pytm/blob/master/pytm/threatlib/threats.json into https://github.com/OWASP/pytm/blob/master/docs/threats.md .

Would this be helpful @Dakes @nineinchnick ?

This idea would align with other ideas like #279 .

Research direction

Start by reading pytm/threatlib/threats.json and docs/threats.md, then review the linked MkDocs discussion and related issue #279. The work is done when the documentation is generated from the supported threats data and no longer requires manually duplicating threat entries.
