# Asset Processor Tool Documentation Plan
This document outlines the proposed structure for the documentation of the Asset Processor Tool, based on the content from `readme.md` and `documentation.txt`. The goal is to create a clear, modular, and comprehensive documentation set within a new `Documentation` directory.
## Proposed Directory Structure
```
