In the File format tab under Output options, select the Markdown (.md) as the output file format for documenting:
By clicking the Generate button, the SQL database documentation tool will document the chosen engine in the markdown output format.

Documentation also includes the Data models as well as viewing the dependencies graphically:
SQL code blocks of the objects that have them are also documented:
