Since javadoc generation has been fixed in #705, this PR adds configuration for supporting standalone markdown guides, and imports the existing markdown guides from https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/tree/main/docs/sdk/java.
This PR is split into 4 commits:
modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol, convert React elements (e.g.,<Tab>) to headered subsections.--syntax-highlightoption. I've kept this as a separate commit in case we prefer to stick with JDK 23 and look into other syntax highlighting approaches. However, I recommend we use JDK 25 because it is the simplest approach, and because it comes with additional style improvements for rendered markdown.Screenshots:
