This is the main use case (render documentation) sequence:

1. User runs jsdoc2md example.js.
2. jsdoc-api is used to obtain the raw jsdoc data for the input source code provided.
3. this data is transformed into something suitable for passing into a template by jsdoc-parse (which also adds support for the jsdoc2md-specific tags like @typicalname, @done, @category etc).
4. the resulting template data is passed into dmd (the default output template). This output is returned to the user.
