**Important:** The generator automatically ensures the output directory ends with `webapplications`. If your specified path doesn't end with `webapplications`, it will be automatically appended. The web application will be created at `<output-dir>/<webappname>`.

**Examples:**
- `--output-dir force-app/main/default` → Creates webapp at `force-app/main/default/webapplications/MyWebApp/`

Note that although the source of these messages is Markdown, the final command --help doesn't render text in backticks in any special format. It simply shows the literal backtick in the output. So, for example, it will look like this in the --help:

`--output-dir force-app/main/default` → Creates webapp at `force-app/main/default/webapplications/MyWebApp/`

Just letting you know! Sometimes people use double quotes instead. It's up to you -- we're pretty inconsistent with this small thing in all the CLI help, so I've given up trying to enforce a standard. (And probably it's only nit-picky writers like me that even care, hehe).

Also, please change "webapp" to "web application" in these two bullets, just to keep it consistent with the rest of the text.
