Guid sample in wiki no longer works

See original GitHub issue

The guid sample no longer works https://github.com/dotnet/templating/wiki/Available-Symbols-Generators#guid.

I created a template for this https://github.com/sayedihashimi/template-sample/tree/main/src/Samples/14-guid. All guids are generated as D.

Update (13.12.2021)

Action items:

fix example in wiki
deprecate format in generator definition in favor of using guids in template.json
add documentation on how to use guids in template.json
remove/deprecate guid generator from schemastore json schema

With that property is it possible to generate different formats as well?

Yes, you may. For example, if guid in template.json has D format and content has same guid in N, when replacing the format of final guid will be changed too.
