Summary

Remove NewToolDocExample.md: it contradicted ReadmeFormat.md and produced READMEs the man page parser rejects. Its only reference was the conf.py entry excluding it from the build.

Fix 14 broken relative links. est pointed at rsz sources, ifp at a misspelled InitFloorPlan.i, grt at a URL with no scheme. The empty source file targets in ReadmeFormat.md propagated into every tool README that copied the template.

Keep the main/docs exclude in conf.py: docs/main symlinks to the repo root, so dropping it makes Sphinx discover every page twice.

Code Review

This pull request cleans up and updates various documentation files across the repository. It corrects several broken relative links, updates developer guides and README templates with clearer instructions, reorganizes the manpages test framework documentation, and removes redundant or outdated documentation files. The review feedback points out an incorrect relative link to doc_check_tests.md in docs/src/test/README.md which should go up two levels instead of one.
