   <description><![CDATA[<h1>Contextive README</h1>
 <p>Contextive is an IntelliJ Platform Plugin to assist developers in environments with a complex domain or project specific language, where words have a special meaning in the context of the project.</p>
 <p>It should help new team members get up to speed more quickly in understanding domain-specific terms. By storing the term definitions in your repository, and surfacing the definitions as you work on the code, it encourages the use of the domain-specific terms in your code, and regularly updating the definitions as the team's understanding evolves.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>[!WARNING]<br>
+This plugin is considered 'beta' status, as leverages relatively new <a href="https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/language-server-protocol.html">Language Server Protocol</a> support from JetBrains which is still marked as unstable in the IntelliJ Platform API. Some features may not work or may not work as expected. Please <a href="https://github.com/dev-cycles/contextive/issues/new?assignees=&amp;labels=&amp;projects=&amp;template=bug_report.md&amp;title=">report issues</a> in this project and we will liaise with JetBrains to resolve.</p>

+<h2>Installation</h2>
+<p>See <a href="https://github.com/dev-cycles/contextive/blob/main/docs/wiki/INSTALLATION.md#intellij-plugin-platform">IntelliJ IDEs (e.g. IDEA) Installation Instructions</a>.</p>
 <h2>Getting Started</h2>
 <p>Create a folder in your project root called <code>.contextive</code>.  Create a file in that folder called <code>definitions.yml</code>.</p>
 <p>Start defining your definitions following the schema specified in our <a href="https://github.com/dev-cycles/contextive/blob/main/docs/wiki/USAGE.md">usage guide</a>.  You might like to start by copying our <a href="https://github.com/dev-cycles/contextive/blob/main/src/language-server/Contextive.LanguageServer.Tests/DefinitionsInitializationTests.Default%20Definitions.verified.txt">default definitions</a> file that defines the terms used in the definitions file itself.</p>
