Improving supported sensor/input searching and filtering

I’ve been thinking about building some sort of supported input page that will allow you to find/filter currently-supported inputs based on the measurement(s) you want to acquire. Ideally, I’d like this to be able to be updated/generated automatically from the input file metadata. Initially, I wanted to create a section for each measurement with a list of supported inputs, and although thorough, this would be a very large document because many sensors provide multiple measurements and would be duplicated in several sections.

Any thoughts on how this could easily or efficiently be implemented?

I created a script to parse all inputs into a doc page with all inputs sorted by their measurements and a table of contents. Check it out and let me know if you think it can be improved or if you have a suggestion for another way of doing this.

Thats really cool. I really like the little descriptive text that some of the output have. But I guess that more comes down to the fact that most of the inputs doesn’t have a text, than extracting it:)
