+
+## Generator
+
+The HTML documentation is automatically generated from the markdown file
+`DOCUMENTATION.md` in every git branch.
+
+The documentation generator script is located in the `documentation-generator`
+directory.
+It is executed by the GitHub Actions workflow
+`.github/workflows/generate-documentation.yml`.
+Generated HTML files and `index.html` that redirects to the latest version are
+committed to this branch.
