 ## Features
 
-- Merge multiple YAML configuration files into a single output format (JSON, Azure ARM parameters, or YAML).
+- Merge multiple configuration files into a single output format (JSON, Azure ARM parameters, or YAML).
 - Support for injecting custom metadata (e.g., `ResourceGroup`, `Environment`) into the output.
 - Optionally include the source file name in each configuration entry.
 - Embed output files as resources in the assembly for easy inclusion in your project.
