Merge into existing README.md about helm-docs HOT 2 OPEN

I have extensively used terraform-docs, and I like their idea here, but I decided to implement documentation generation using gotemplates. If you want to do what you describe, you can do the following:

cp README.md README.gotmpl

Add a section to the new file wherever you'd like docs to appear:

{{ template "chart.header" . }}
{{ template "chart.deprecationWarning" . }}

{{ template "chart.badgesSection" . }}

{{ template "chart.description" . }}

{{ template "chart.homepageLine" . }}

{{ template "chart.maintainersSection" . }}

{{ template "chart.sourcesSection" . }}

{{ template "chart.requirementsSection" . }}

{{ template "chart.valuesSection" . }}

then run:

helm-docs --template-files=./REAMDME.md.gotmpl

it should print the standard template to your README.md file.

If you'd like a simpler template rather than the 12 lines I've pasted above, I'm happy to implement that, but I like the gotemplate approach here and I'm not changing that particular implementation choice.

Hi,
I'm trying to use .gotmpl file to merge the docs with the existing README but it's failing with the following error:

Error generating gotemplates for chart  chart:184: function "variables" not defined

I also looked under example-charts/custom-template and have it set up the same way but still getting the same error. I'm using helm-docs v1.8.1
