Description

I'd like to convert the documentation from a XML/XSL-based system, to a simpler JSON/Jekyll/Jinja2 based system. I would also like to use GitHub pages to provide a landing page with documentation for Conky.

Research direction
Start by exploring the current documentation build system in the repository, looking at the XML/XSL files and any related scripts (e.g., Makefile). Then research Jekyll and GitHub Pages to understand how to structure the new documentation. Review any existing discussions in the issue comments for additional context. Consider creating a prototype or a pull request to gather feedback.
