### What is Swanky Docs?
Swanky Docs is a framework that enables you to create beautiful documentation from any source.
Swanky Docs is basically a static site generator that has been specifically designed to build documentation. Because
Swanky Docs can be easily configured to 'stitch' together multiple sources of content it lends
itself very well to building [Pattern Libraries](https://patterns.swanky-docs.org/).

### Why Swanky Docs?
Unlike many other documentation tools that are focused on building documentation from one type of source e.g. [JSDocs](http://usejsdoc.org/),
[Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/), [Swagger](http://swagger.io/) etc. Swanky Docs can be configured to process
multiple source types to build a comprehensive documentation asset, it can even combine multiple source types into single pages.
