Research direction

Start by reading the markdown template and the RenderTypeLink function mentioned in the issue, then trace how type headings and links are generated. Done means headings include the version so repeated types have unique anchors, and links from other markdown files resolve to the intended version.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

The current headers in the markdown template are not guaranteed to be unique since they do not include the version. For my use case I have multiple versions of a CRD with the same types in each version. Since the output is all in one file, when I want to link to a type from another markdown file (like out.md#typename), it will only ever link to the first heading matching the link, which could be an out of date reference. I tried creating my own template for this but the issue is the markdown RenderTypeLink function will no longer create accurate links with the change.
