Specialized subsystems that extend Bengal's core functionality.

Subsystem
Purpose
Entry Point

Autodoc
Generate docs from Python, CLI, OpenAPI
`bengal/autodoc/`

Analysis
Graph analysis, PageRank, link suggestions
`bengal/analysis/`

Health
Content validation, broken link detection
`bengal/health/`

Fonts
Google Fonts download, self-hosting
`bengal/fonts/`

Collections
Type-safe content schemas
`bengal/collections/`

Content Layer
Unified API for remote content
`bengal/content/sources/`

Note

Subsystems are imported on-demand — Bengal uses deferred imports so subsystem code only loads when actually used, minimizing startup time.
