> I was referring to tree-sitter API, i.e., wrappers of tree-sitter functions. They are the functions that I expect to not change much. Font-lock and indent API are still undecided for the most part. So where should I put the manual of tree-sitter functions? In that node I will talk about what can tree-sitter do and how to use the parser and parse-tree, etc.

I'm not sure I see the difference.  We have syntax-ppss
etc. documented in the ELisp manual; how are TS-related APIs
different?
