Description

[JSDoc Tutorials](http://usejsdoc.org/about-tutorials.html) offer some advantages over Doclets articles:
- Ability to link to tutorial from API documentation via `@tutorial` tag
- Ability to link to API documentation from tutorial via `{@link}` tag
- Support for a JSON file to specify an order and even a hierarchy for the tutorial index

If I understand the code correctly, Doclets uses its own Markdown parser to create articles. Would it be possible to add support for JSDoc tutorials?

Research direction

Start by reviewing Doclets' current Markdown-based article handling alongside the linked JSDoc Tutorials documentation. Define how tutorial links from API documentation, API links from tutorials, and the JSON-defined tutorial order and hierarchy should work; done means these three capabilities are supported.
