   extrasuite docs pull <url> [output_dir]    Download document as markdown

+Pull creates a folder with index.md and a tabs/ directory. Open index.md first
+— it lists every heading in every tab with its line number, so you can jump
+directly to what you want to edit. Edit the files in tabs/ (one .md per tab);
+each file has YAML frontmatter (id, title) at the top — don't remove it. To
+add a tab, create a new .md file in tabs/ with frontmatter (set id to "").
+Standard GFM is supported: headings, bold/italic/strikethrough, inline code,
+fenced code blocks, tables, bullet/numbered/checkbox lists, blockquotes, and
+callouts ([!NOTE] [!WARNING] [!INFO] [!DANGER] [!TIP]). Cross-doc heading
+links use [text](#Heading Name) or [text](#Tab/Heading Name). Existing images
+appear as ![alt](uri) and are read-only. Always re-pull after push.

-## Usage
-
   extrasuite docs pull <url> [output_dir]
 
-## Arguments
-
   url           Document URL or ID
-  output_dir    Output directory (optional, defaults to current directory)
-
-## Output
-
-  index.md             Table of contents with line numbers (read-only, start here)
-  tabs/<Name>.md       One markdown file per tab (edit these)
-  comments.xml         Comments and replies (editable — see below)
-  .extrasuite/         Internal snapshot used by push — do not edit
-
-Each tab file uses standard GitHub-flavored markdown with YAML frontmatter
-for tab identity (id, title). Do not remove the frontmatter.
-
-## Comments
-
-comments.xml is pre-populated with existing comments. To add a reply or
-resolve a comment, edit the file directly. Run `extrasuite docs help comments-reference`
-for the format.
-
-## Adding a New Tab

-Create a new .md file in the tabs/ directory. The title is derived from the
-filename (underscores become spaces). Push will create the tab in Google Docs.
-
-## Example

-  extrasuite docs pull https://docs.google.com/document/d/abc123
