What does [!xx] syntax mean?

I am pretty sure this is special for Github: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#alerts

Neat. I ask because I tried to open it from the commit tree, but it didn't render at all https://github.com/vespa-engine/sample-apps/blob/efad8d1dcc1179182c01d654d1a34b388cdeb4a7/README.md

After further investigation it seems that GH does NOT support this in markdown documents, but only in their own makrdown fields (issues, prs, ...)

IMO, if we include this, we should also have path/URL to the document.jsonl. Currently Console generates that URL based on the shortname and the rest is hardcoded. Or we could remove this and generate both path/URLs.

Let me take a look at console and implement it there first. I agree it's a bit weird to only have one

[esolitos]

Given the Deploy action does not use this, but rather uses the "shortname" to determine the path of upload, it would make sense to use that one indeed.

[lperry25]

I have updated console now to just use the shortname, so it is no problem to remove the zipPath. I can make that change
