Research direction

Start with Gutenberg/Gutenberg.csproj and run the proposed Roslynator command to inspect the generated markdown. Determine whether the project should adopt this documentation workflow, choose a markdown renderer, and define how C# syntax highlighting would work; the issue is done when those integration decisions are resolved and documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Roslynator can cook xmldocs into markdown pages, seems faster and better supported than docfx. Then the markdown can be displayed with whatever static site generator you like. There's built in support for Docusaurus-flavoured-markdown and Sphinx, but can also use starlight or Hakyll or MkDocs or whatever other markdown renderer.

roslynator generate-doc Gutenberg/Gutenberg.csproj -o my-website/docs --heading Gutenberg --host docusaurus --group-by-common-namespace

Would need to figure out C# syntax highlighting.
