Convert t2t to markdown, then to HTML (nvaccess#15945)
Closes nvaccess#8734 Part of nvaccess#15014 Related nvaccess/nvda-misc-deps#30, nvaccess#16002, nvaccess#15950, nvaccess#15939, nvaccess#15981 Summary of the issue: In order to migrate to Crowdin, we must convert txt2tags to markdown. In order transition safely, beta will build docs from t2t to markdown to html. Eventually the t2t will be removed and the markdown will become the source of truth. Description of user facing changes The user Guide no longer has numbered sections Translators and documentation writers now use extended markdown syntax rather than txt2tags. Description of development approach The build system performs certain pre-processing and post-processing when converting t2t to HTML. This equivalent system should be retained - i.e. the translator and documentation contribution experience should remain the same for markdown to HTML. Additionally, when converting t2t to markdown, new processing rules had to be created. There is no universal standard for custom anchors in markdown. As such text2tags doesn't have default rules for this. To retain our custom anchors, I added rules for a common markdown extended syntax. Similarly a shortcut is used for generating table of contents. See nvaccess/nvda-misc-deps#30 Setting the language code is done using the user_docs folder name, and the direction of RTL is manually set for the 3 current languages that require it, Persian, Arabic, Hebrew. Special Catalan processing for adding hreflang attributes is converted to a markdown extension syntax of {hreflang=en} The key commands file is generated using a custom made markdown python extension.
