@petebacondarwin thanks for putting this up! can you add the --platform flag into the CLI arguments section as well?

Is that actually the right thing to do here?

The only options for --platform are pages and workers. But this doc is in the Pages section of the docs and is specifically about running C3 to generate a Pages project; and in the snippets I have hard coded the --platform=pages option.

hmm, good question. the CLI arguments being listed in this section conflates pages-specific concerns with more general c3 documentation, especially given the wording:

we might want to consider reorganizing some of the c3 documentation, but that's not within the scope of this PR, so we can table my comment for now and revisit later if makes sense

Should this just be inlined? Why is it a partial?

[petebacondarwin]

No idea. I guess the original plan was that it would be reused for Pages and Workers?
