Building the Documentation

The documentation is built using GitBook and is available online at chrondb.moclojer.com.

When adding links between pages, remember:

1. Do not include the .md extension in links between pages

2. Use relative paths for links to other pages in the documentation

3. For example, use [Data Model](data-model) instead of [Data Model](data-model.md)

4. External links should still include their full URLs and extensions

This ensures compatibility with GitBook's rendering system.
