Summary

The documentation page provides a detailed overview of Bicep file functions but demonstrates bias by only including a PowerShell script example (myscript.ps1) in the 'loadTextContent' section. There are no examples for Linux shell scripts (e.g., .sh files) or references to Linux scripting environments. The deployment script resource uses 'AzurePowerShell' exclusively, with no mention of 'AzureCLI' or cross-platform alternatives. No Linux or cross-platform command-line usage is shown.

Recommendations

Include examples that demonstrate loading and deploying Linux shell scripts (e.g., myscript.sh) using the same Bicep functions.
Show how to use the 'AzureCLI' deployment script kind in addition to 'AzurePowerShell', with corresponding examples.
Explicitly mention that the file functions work with both Windows and Linux file types and encodings.
Where possible, provide parallel examples for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash) script scenarios.
Clarify that the Bicep CLI and file functions are cross-platform, and reference any platform-specific considerations if they exist.
