CRITICAL USER TRUST DESTRUCTION: Documentation parser failures undermine professional credibility #972
Description
Documentation generation produces multiple critical warnings that destroy user confidence in library quality.
BRUTAL USER IMPACT:
- 'make doc' generates stream of errors visible to users
- Warning messages suggest broken/incomplete documentation system
- Multiple "Error parsing" messages for core example files
- Users question library reliability based on documentation failures
SYSTEMATIC FAILURES DISCOVERED:
- annotation_demo.md: "has no title metadata" parser error
- legend_box_demo.md: parsing error
- Multiple missing index.md files generating warnings
- FORD parser warnings indicate systematic documentation quality issues
EVIDENCE:
Warning: Error parsing '/home/ert/code/fortplot/doc/examples/annotation_demo.md'.
Page has no title metadata
Warning: Error parsing '/home/ert/code/fortplot/doc/examples/legend_box_demo.md'.
USER TRUST IMPACT:
Professional users evaluate libraries by documentation quality - parser failures signal poor maintenance and unreliable software
SOLUTION REQUIRED:
Fix ALL documentation files to eliminate parser errors and warnings
