# Note: Design decision: Intelligent templates = the engine

## Context

Documentation stack architecture decision.

## Content

Intelligent templates are the **engine** (context in,
populated template out). Autogenerated topics are a
**use case** of that engine (scan code, produce help
pages without manual authoring).

The engine is general-purpose. Autogenerated topics
are its first and primary application.
