At the moment, the multi doc pulling and consolidating is done in an adhoc way. Other people are searching for a multi docs plugin for mkdocs.

  1. generate_docs could be made into a mkdocs plugin using the on_config event to regenerate the config
  2. OUTSIDE_DOCS file could be put inside the plugin configuration

Research direction

Start by locating the existing generate_docs workflow and the OUTSIDE_DOCS file, then read MkDocs's on_config plugin event and the linked MkDocs issue 265. Done means the multi-repository document pulling and consolidation work through a MkDocs plugin, with OUTSIDE_DOCS represented in plugin configuration instead of a separate file.
