Does it support GitHub-flavored markdown? [nrd:] If we implement it
Can we render it to multiple pages? [nrd:] If we implement it
How can someone navigate the rendered docs? [nrd:] Single-page output with only immediate children visible on each section

we are increasingly concerned that people don't fucking read what we say. gfm is supported (the manual uses gfm tables!), multipage rendering is in use right now, tocgen is configurable.

infinisil asked as to come back to answer questions regarding the tooling, we've yet to hear one. should we just fucking leave again?

gfm is supported (the manual uses gfm tables!)

gfm tables isn't the complete set of gfm, and from what I saw the current code doesn't support the full set (more importantly, doesn't support the github note/tip/warning box style).

multipage rendering is in use right now

The manuals aren't rendered in multiple pages and we have already established that it's not about just toggling a switch. If you render the manual in multiple pages, links break. It requires more effort than just a switch.
When I say multipage, I say the way that we expect chapers and sections to be in their own pages.

tocgen is configurable

It's already understood that we can change nrd's implementation the way we see fit, but for that particular line what matters is what the tool currently does
