jsdoc-to-markdown
Generate markdown documentation from jsdoc-annotated javascript
Generates markdown API documentation from jsdoc annotated source code. Useful for injecting API docs into project README files. By default, dmd generates github-flavored markdown. Not all markdown parsers render gfm correctly. If your generated docs look incorrect on sites other than Github (e.g. npmjs.org) try enabling this option to disable Github-specific syntax. Two options to render parameter lists: 'list' or 'table' (default). Table format works well in most cases but switch to list if things begin to look crowded / squashed. By default, the output of each invocation of the main generation methods (render, getTemplateData etc) is stored in the cache (your system's temporary directory). Future jsdoc2md invocations with the same input options and source code will return the output immediately from cache, making the tool much faster/cheaper. If the input options or source code changes, fresh output will be generated. -

JSDoc
An API documentation generator for JavaScript
JSDoc 3 is an API documentation generator for JavaScript, similar to Javadoc or phpDocumentor. You add documentation comments directly to your source code, right alongside the code itself. The JSDoc tool will scan your source code and generate an HTML documentation website for you. JSDoc's purpose is to document the API of your JavaScript application or library. It is assumed that you will want to document things like modules, namespaces, classes, methods, method parameters, and so on. JSDoc comments should generally be placed immediately before the code being documented. Each comment must start with a /** sequence in order to be recognized by the JSDoc parser. Adding a description is simple, just type the description you want in the documentation comment. Once your code is commented, you can use the JSDoc 3 tool to generate an HTML website from your source files. -

Office Docs PowerShell
PowerShell Reference for Office Products
This repository aggregates documentation, examples, and cmdlet references for PowerShell modules that manage Microsoft 365 and Office services. It collects guidance for admins on tasks such as Exchange Online mail flow, SharePoint site provisioning, Teams configuration, and tenant-level policy settings—often including parameter examples, common scenarios, and troubleshooting notes. The docs are structured so operators can copy/paste ready examples into their automation scripts or adapt them for bulk changes using CSV-driven loops. Because cloud management frequently involves idempotent, auditable operations, the content emphasizes safe patterns (what changes will do, UI equivalents, and rollback hints). Versioning matters here: the repository tracks changes as Microsoft updates service APIs and cmdlets, helping teams stay current and avoid deprecated workflows. -
