Think of an article about animating the camera! There are twelve or more scripting functions for controling the camera. There's one for turning the camera upwards; one for moving it forward; one for rotating it; etc. People will need some sort of reference to figure out what functions there are and how to use them. If I leave all of that information out and tell people to go and look it up in the source code themselves the article becomes too abstract. If I add all the data about the functions to the article itself, it becomes too convoluted. So I'm creating a big reference - not just of the camera functions - but of *all* functions. And since there's a lot of them - 800 or so - I want to automate that process.

Does that clear it up a little?
