Nice! I didn't realize chicken-doc-admin was even a thing, and this
ability should make updating docs much easier to do.
When next I get around to updating the allegro egg from 5.06 to 5.09 and
fixing the library discovery bug I'll see about also switching over to
using this to manage the documentation.
Thanks!

Hi,
It is now possible to break up egg documentation into several pages. This was
previously possible on the wiki, but is now supported by chicken-doc as well.
Procedure: instead of creating a file, create a directory and populate it with subpage
files. To document the main page, call the page "index".
Example:
allegro/color
allegro/display
allegro/index
chicken-doc-admin supports directories and will automatically recurse. It also
works with the host-installed eggs option.
Notes:
- You should probably create at least a stub "index" file because otherwise the
main page will 404.
- It's a good idea to place links to the subpages on the main page. chickadee
will automatically pick up subpages and place them in the contents bar, but the
wiki will not.
- All subpages are considered "eggs", which means:
- It may confuse users who expect each doc page to correspond to exactly one egg,
unit or module -- there is no "allegro color" egg for example.
- Subpages will show up in a chicken-doc identifier or egg search, which
may be confusing or annoying.
There may eventually need to be a way to tag a page as something other than an
egg for chicken-doc, but that doesn't exist yet.
