Documentation glitch ? Outline.Serialization

Serialization options show up clearly in most of the related documentation sections, but I think a markup glitch may have crept into the options tables for:

  • outline.serialize
  • outline.reloadSerialization

https://www.taskpaper.com/guide/reference/scripting/Outline.html

FWIW I think this was what I was after : -)

outline.serialize({
    type: ItemSerializer.BMLType
})

Any updates on this @jessegrosjean ?

In the meanwhile, I think the set of values available for typeString in {type: typeString}

as in for example:

outline.serialize({
    type: ItemSerializer.BMLType
})

may be accessible in these terms:

            taskpaper = Application("TaskPaper"),
            windows = taskpaper.windows;

        return 0 < windows.length ? (
            windows.at(0).document.evaluate({
                script: `${TaskPaperContext}`
            })
        ) : "Nothing open in TaskPaper";
    };

    const TaskPaperContext = () =>
