Documentation Guidelines
Block Documentation Manual Sections
When updating manual sections (<!-- MANUAL: ... -->) in block documentation files (e.g., docs/integrations/basic.md), follow these formats:
How It Works Section
Provide a technical explanation of how the block functions:
- Describe the processing logic in 1-2 paragraphs
- Mention any validation, error handling, or edge cases
- Use code examples with backticks when helpful (e.g.,
[[1, 2], [3, 4]] becomes [1, 2, 3, 4])
Example:
<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->
The block iterates through each list in the input and extends a result list with all elements from each one. It processes lists in order, so `[[1, 2], [3, 4]]` becomes `[1, 2, 3, 4]`.
The block includes validation to ensure each item is actually a list. If a non-list value is encountered, the block outputs an error message instead of proceeding.
<!-- END MANUAL -->
Use Case Section
Provide 3 practical use cases in this format:
- Bold Heading: Short one-sentence description
Example:
<!-- MANUAL: use_case -->
**Paginated API Merging**: Combine results from multiple API pages into a single list for batch processing or display.
**Parallel Task Aggregation**: Merge outputs from parallel workflow branches that each produce a list of results.
**Multi-Source Data Collection**: Combine data collected from different sources (like multiple RSS feeds or API endpoints) into one unified list.
<!-- END MANUAL -->
Style Guidelines
- Keep descriptions concise and action-oriented
- Focus on practical, real-world scenarios
- Use consistent terminology with other blocks
- Avoid overly technical jargon unless necessary
