Docs refactor (#480)
Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find
resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three
main sections:

- Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core
functionality
- Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain
provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key
concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it
didnt easily fit).
- Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question
answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different
entry point to the code base.

There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources
(glossary, gallery, etc)

# Summarization
Summarization involves creating a smaller summary of multiple longer documents.
This can be useful for distilling long documents into the core pieces of information
The following resources exist:
- [Summarization Notebook](/modules/chains/combine_docs_examples/summarize.ipynb): A notebook walking through how to accomplish this task.
Additional related resources include:
- [Utilities for working with Documents](/modules/utils/how_to_guides.rst): Guides on how to use several of the utilities which will prove helpful for this task, including Text Splitters (for splitting up long documents).
- [CombineDocuments Chains](/modules/chains/combine_docs.md): A conceptual overview of specific types of chains by which you can accomplish this task.
- [Data Augmented Generation](combine_docs.md): An overview of data augmented generation, which is the general concept of combining external data with LLMs (of which this is a subset).
