Description

We should move away from having .html files as the files that you edit to make changes to the docs. Ideally to edit the docs you'd edit a .md file and everything for a specific page is in the one .md file.

Having multiple html files for one page like we have in our existing docs, makes it challenging to create new content and edit existing content.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the existing documentation is split across multiple .html files for each page and how those files are built. Define a migration approach so each page can be edited in one .md file, while preserving the existing documentation content and output.
