Description Yoann Congal 2025-01-10 23:24:36 UTC 
"dynamic layer" is a concept that is discussed by the community (see google search[0]) but is not present in the documentation.
The documentation has the underlying variable: BBFILES_DYNAMIC[1] but a user searching for "dynamic layer" won't find it in the doc.

Maybe just a note in BBFILES_DYNAMIC section "this direction pointed by BBFILES_DYNAMIC might be called a dynamic layer"? Or a dedicated section outside of the variable glossary?
