[stringtemplate-interest] Moving closer to 4.0 ST release (what to do with the doc)

I learned a lot from the ST3 documentation but I still think it could
benefit from some attention.

Here are some things I consider "missing", I apologise if these are well
documented and I just can't find them.

If statements support "and" and "or" logic.
<if(thing && otherThing)>
... do stuff ...
<endif>

Using (" ") for map keys that contain special characters. (Wait, was that
even in ST3?)


Also I can also never *quickly* find the following information, even though
it is present.

Syntax for a map. - I never remember it.

/**/ for comments in-between templates in a template group. -- I went a
loong time without knowing this one, which was silly of me.

All of this is easily fixable.

At this point I would recommend each of us take a few minuets and try to put
ourselves in the shoes of a beginner who just stumbled onto the ST project,
then re-read the documentation. That might help highlight anything that
might be missing.

Collin
