Web Origami documentation

The Web Origami documentation site itself has many features. The primary content is defined in markdown with inlined Origami expressions, allowing individual documentation pages to generate SVG diagrams and run code samples in order to incorporate their output. Various navigation elements like a sidebar and top navigation bar are generated from the structure of the content. The site also generates API documentation from JavaScript source files and includes a search feature that indexes all the content.
