* docs: clarify in "Keymap Overview" what LAYOUT is and isn't
It is not strictly necessary to use LAYOUT macros in keyboard.c, but it
is a convenient abstraction of hardware internals, allowing focus on the
physical keyboard layout.
From the C source point of view LAYOUT is macro with a parameter list,
which expands to a array of rows that each is an array with a keyboard
scancode for each column. A macro parameter list is not an array, and
even less a single array.
Perhaps no big deal, but also no reason to give incorrect hints.
* docs: update "Understanding QMK's Code" to current code structure introduced in

Quantum Mechanical Keyboard Firmware
What is QMK Firmware?
QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) is an open source community centered around developing computer input devices. The community encompasses all sorts of input devices, such as keyboards, mice, and MIDI devices. A core group of collaborators maintains QMK Firmware, QMK Configurator, QMK Toolbox, qmk.fm, and this documentation with the help of community members like you.
Get Started
?> Basic QMK Configurator
User friendly graphical interfaces, no programming knowledge required.
?> Advanced Use The Source
More powerful, but harder to use.
Make It Yours
QMK has lots of features to explore, and a good deal of reference documentation to dig through. Most features are taken advantage of by modifying your keymap, and changing the keycodes.
