Examples

1. Consolidating Technical Documentation

Technical Writer

Background

A technical writer has 5 separate markdown files representing different chapters of a software manual, each with its own H1 headers.

Problem

The files need to be combined into one document where the chapter titles become H2 headers under a single main H1 title.

How to use

Upload the 5 files, select 'Smart' merge strategy, and set 'Header Handling' to 'Adjust'.

mergeStrategy: smart, headerHandling: adjust, generateToc: yes

Outcome

A single markdown file with a generated table of contents and correctly nested header levels.

2. Merging Meeting Notes

Project Manager

Background

A project manager has several weekly meeting notes in markdown format that need to be archived into a single quarterly report.

Problem

The notes are scattered and lack a unified structure or index for quick reference.

How to use

Upload all weekly files, select 'Simple Concatenate', and enable 'Add File Headers'.
