it from generic static site generators. These features (automatic backlinks,
hashtags, search) are the core value proposition for knowledge management.

Impact:
- Users understand what makes XLog special (not just another SSG)
- Clear documentation of automatic backlinks (key differentiator)
- Practical guidance for knowledge base workflows
- Complete feature set documented for discovery

Total: +980 lines of feature documentation
Focus: Knowledge-base capabilities, not general website features
