Discuss ways to pull instructions out of prose in spec to enable inst/page reference manual

one idea for quickly doing this could be to use asciidoc tags that then could be used to pull out the content with includes: https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/directives/include-tagged-regions/ in a separate document.

Yep. I actually was thinking a way to exclude non-normative text from generated documents would be to move all non-normative text into their own files as tag filtering only works with the include macro.

That's a good point. And actually I have that example here: https://github.com/riscv-admin/docs-sig/blob/main/projects/csr-format/wavedrom-input.adoc?plain=1#L9

Also if we wanted the potential to leave the non-normative text in the doc as is, we could surround it with https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/directives/ifdef-ifndef/ like ifdef::non-norm[] block.

Assuming we are pulling out mostly wavedrom definitions, those could then be used to create the reference model with one item/page. Also table format from the wavedrom using a template to generate the table?
