Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently the markdown files are sorted into subdirectories (Apis and Models). This does not work if we want to publish the docs as a github wiki since it doesn't support directories. Therefore I suggestion an option to use a flat file structure (all files in the same directory).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually moving files after generation and search and replace URL:s to remove the subdirectories, but this seems cumbersome and error prone.

Research direction

Start by locating the Markdown generation path and the current Apis and Models subdirectories, then trace how generated URLs reference those paths. Done means an option can generate all Markdown files in one directory with links that work for a GitHub wiki.
