-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Custom Templates
-You can customize the viewer template by:
-1. Copying `viewer-template.html` to your project
-2. Modifying the CSS and HTML structure
-3. Updating `zddc.conf` to point to your custom template
-
-### Batch Processing
-For large document sets:
-```bash
-# Process all markdown files recursively
-find . -name "*.md" -exec ./convert -f -o rendered/ {} +
-
-# Process specific document types
-./convert -f -o rendered/ *-SOW-*.md *-DBD-*.md
-```
-
-### Integration with Build Systems
-The convert tool returns proper exit codes and can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines:
-```bash
-# In a build script
-if ./convert -f -o dist/ *.md; then
-    echo "Documentation built successfully"
-else
-    echo "Documentation build failed"
-    exit 1
-fi
-```
-
 ## File Types Supported
 
 - **Input**: Markdown (`.md`), DOCX (`.docx`), and HTML (`.html`/`.htm`) files

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Common Issues
-1. **Template not found**: Ensure `zddc.conf` points to correct template path
+1. **Template not found**: Keep `viewer-template.html` beside the script (or input), or pass `-T /path/to/template.html`
 2. **Permission errors**: Make sure `convert` script is executable (`chmod +x convert`)
 3. **Missing output**: Check that output directory exists or use `-o` to create it
 4. **Print issues**: Use "Print to PDF" in browser for best results
