More winutil docs update (#4038)
* updated the gen to add a blackline under the frontmatter and added .md file in the same location with breakdown on what the script does * copyright fix. found out the reason why it rendered correctly on my pc and not with site builder. it was because we use --minify for the site builder and i have not been using that on the local instance * Update pre-release.yaml * Update en.yaml

# Dev Docs Generator
|
||||
|
||||
The `devdocs-generator.ps1` script automatically generates Hugo-compatible markdown files for the development documentation. It pulls content directly from the JSON config files and PowerShell function files so the docs never go out of sync.
|
||||
|
||||
## When Does It Run?
|
||||
|
||||
- Automatically in CI via the GitHub Actions `docs.yaml` workflow before Hugo builds the site
|
||||
- Triggered when any of these change: `docs/**`, `config/tweaks.json`, `config/feature.json`, `functions/**`
|
||||
- Can also be run manually with `workflow_dispatch`
|
||||
|
||||
## What Does It Do?
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Loads the Data
|
||||
|
||||
- Reads `config/tweaks.json` and `config/feature.json`
|
||||
- Reads all `.ps1` function files from `functions/public/` and `functions/private/`
|
||||
- Parses `Invoke-WPFButton.ps1` to build a mapping of button names to their function names
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Updates Links in JSON
|
||||
|
||||
- Adds or updates a `"link"` property on every entry in both JSON config files
|
||||
- Each link points to that entry's documentation page on the Hugo site
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Cleans Up Old Docs
|
||||
|
||||
- Deletes all `.md` files (except `_index.md`) from `docs/content/dev/tweaks/` and `docs/content/dev/features/`
|
||||
- This prevents duplicate or orphaned files from previous runs
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Generates Tweak Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
For each entry in `tweaks.json` that belongs to a documented category:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Button type** entries get the mapped PowerShell function file embedded
|
||||
- **All other types** get the raw JSON snippet embedded with correct line numbers from the source file
|
||||
- Entries with **registry changes** get a Registry Changes section added
|
||||
- Entries with **services** get the `Set-WinUtilService.ps1` function appended
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Generates Feature Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
For each entry in `feature.json` that belongs to a documented category:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fixes and Legacy Windows Panels** get the mapped PowerShell function file embedded
|
||||
- **Features** get the raw JSON snippet embedded with correct line numbers
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Output Format
|
||||
|
||||
- Every `.md` file gets Hugo frontmatter with `title` and `description`
|
||||
- Code blocks use Hugo syntax with filename labels and line numbers
|
||||
- Files are organized into category subdirectories matching the JSON `category` field
|
||||
|
||||
## Documented Categories
|
||||
|
||||
The script generates docs for entries in these categories:
|
||||
|
||||
- Essential Tweaks
|
||||
- z__Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION
|
||||
- Customize Preferences
|
||||
- Performance Plans
|
||||
- Features
|
||||
- Fixes
|
||||
- Legacy Windows Panels
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
Legacy-Windows-Panels/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How File Names Are Derived
|
||||
|
||||
The script strips common prefixes from the JSON key names using the pattern `WPF(WinUtil|Toggle|Features?|Tweaks?|Panel|Fix(es)?)?`. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
| JSON Key | Generated File |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `WPFTweaksHiber` | `Hiber.md` |
|
||||
| `WPFTweaksDeBloat` | `DeBloat.md` |
|
||||
| `WPFFeatureshyperv` | `hyperv.md` |
|
||||
| `WPFPanelDISM` | `DISM.md` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Points
|
||||
|
||||
- The JSON config files are the single source of truth
|
||||
- Manual edits to generated `.md` files will be overwritten on the next run
|
||||
- The script does not touch `_index.md` files or `architecture.md`
|
||||
- Category directories are created automatically if they don't exist
|
||||
- The `"link"` property added to JSON entries is excluded from the displayed code blocks
