Pull request overview

Adds recursive sidebar generation to support multi-level directory structures (Issue #179), with directory entries optionally linking to a folder README when present (aligned with docsifyjs/docsify#1290).

Changes:

  • Replaces the flat file-walk sidebar generator with a recursive generateContent() implementation.
  • Adds README-aware directory entries and indentation for nested content.
  • Introduces modifyFileName() for displayed sidebar labels.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
