group groupDescription category

Problem

I've recently started using @group and @category, which have helped me organise the docs a lot better. I arrange by group in the index so I get the collapsing menus and it's all good.

The main page lists out the contents of each group in order, and I was hoping for the ability to click on group names in the nav column and be taken to a summary page for that group, which would have the @groupDescription tag and then all of the group's members. Does this exist and I have just failed to find it? I see that the group description is being included in the json output.

Suggested Solution

An output config like includeGroupSummaryPages:boolean ?

Research direction

Start by tracing how @group and @groupDescription are represented in the JSON output and how group names are rendered in the navigation and main page. Done should include a defined configuration behavior for group summary pages, with each page showing its description and all members of that group.
