There were some issues with this. The example stated using an append file and the file was actually named as a regular recipe file. I fixed that.

The YP manual set was using the plugin term inconsistently. It was appearing as "plugin" as well as "plug-in". The plugins in the project are all named without a hyphen.

The concepts-manual is going away for 2.5.

There was inconsistent use when referencing the getting-started manual. The manual's name does not include the word "Manual".

2018-05-24Documentation: Updated Manual NotesScott Rifenbark
I did some re-wording to account for when the user does a web search for a manual and the search returns an ancient version of the manual. Many times the user is oblivious of this fact and is trying to use a version of the docs that don't come close to matching the version of the YP.
