[elk-dev] generating melk documentation

Hi everyone,

I'm working on generating documentation about the algorithms and options declared in *.melk files automatically. The plan here is to have a 'MelkDocumentationGenerator' write the content to markdown files which are then either pushed to a designated github repository or into the gh-pages branch of the elk repo. With a few configuration files we can coax github into running a static-site-generator (jekyll) that crawls the markdown files and creates a website.
The ELK Wiki will be migrated as well to have everything in the same place.
The generator will be executed when the project is built, so this shouldn't affect anyone's workflow. To expand the means of documentation the ELK metadata language already supports a 'documentation' attribute that wasn't used thus far but would come in handy for referring to an additional markdown file. In case you have suggestions regarding the documentation I created an issue: https://github.com/eclipse/elk/issues/91

Best,
dag
