Description
I assume that DocumentJS should be able to create *something* useful out of the box. When I add DocumentJS to my project, and run it without defining a config, I get the following index page built:

It would be helpful to create a guide for configuring the `parent` and linking to it anytime DocumentJS has to guess the parent.
Contributor guide
No contributing guide indexed for this repository
Research direction
Run DocumentJS without a configuration to reproduce the generated index page shown in the issue. Determine where the parent configuration is documented and where DocumentJS guesses a parent, then add a guide and link to it whenever that fallback occurs; done means the guide explains configuring parent and the generated output points readers to it.
