Alchemy uses yeoman for scaffolding and work flow and jekyll to actually generate our documentation.

gruntAll of the configurations for the jekyll reside in the _config.yml file and the build process can be run manually with jekyll build.
Jekyll ignores all coffeescript and scss files and lets the other grunt plugins take care of them. It compiles the index file from the .md files in the _documentation collection. The configuration.md file (one of the files in the documentation collection) is generated by the .md files located in _configDocs.
