Hey Nick, I did consider that and hope to still visit it. I chose to scrape instead because the output requires only minimal alteration to achieve the desired result. Example code expansion is rewritten to not require JavaScript by using <details> and <summary> and not much more. Large changes to output from the godoc tool can certainly break godoc-static in its current state. Assistance with exploring generating similar output without using godoc would be appreciated.
