Description

Use Case

strings covers almost the entire Puppet module ecosystem with the exception of custom facts. I would like strings to be able to generate documentation for custom facts so that I do not need to reproduce the content by hand.

I understand that some facts are complex but even just noting which ones need to be seen in the README and auto-documenting the rest would be a huge benefit.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

A Custom Facts section is present in the REFERENCE.md

Research direction

Start by tracing the strings documentation-generation entry point and comparing generated output with REFERENCE.md. Determine how custom facts are discovered and represented, then verify that REFERENCE.md contains a Custom Facts section and documents supported facts while identifying any complex facts that still require README coverage.
