Can't override variable value if it's already defined about ansible-doctor

[xoxys]

Hi, Thanks for your report. That's because the documentation is wrong here. The value will always be parsed as json/yaml, but therefor you need to flag it with a $.

Example:

## Content after the $ need to be a valid json; this json will be translated to YAML for the generated docs.
## Simple value
# @var demo_role_override: $ "test"
demo_role_override: original

## Complex value
# @var demo_role_override_complex:value: $ {"foo":"bar", "second":"value"}
demo_role_override_complex: {}

Rendered docs output:

demo_role_override: test

demo_role_override_complex:
  foo: bar
  second: value

Quoting matters in this case as well. I'll fix the documentation later.
