PandocNet CLI arguments

github.com/SimonCropp/P...

PandocNet is a lib to provide a .net api to talk to Pandoc.

It uses CliWrap to provides strong typed options for document formats.

The input and output docs are generated by using the type definitions in the assembly.

Metadata about a method can be added by a convention based comment. eg //Link: is used as prefix to indicate the url to the MS docs page. note this has a benefit over an attribute as it does not have any side effects on the projects assembly that is produced when consuming this source only nuget.

I wanted discoverable guidance for each combo of the above. This results in 588 pages with a lot of partially duplicated content. So to make that easier to maintain, it is code generated. The result is a smooth wizard that feels dynamic, but is actually all static pages.

When a new item is added, it automatically appears in the docs. The correctness of the docs is ensured by tests that verify the jobs.

I tweaked how Verify handles HttpContext. So now Alba integration is a little more succinct.
Just pass the Alba scenario to Verify
