Different controller drivers use these identifiers in various ways. For instance, the `android`, and `sdl2` driver utilizes both the Vendor ID and Product ID, while the `linuxraw` and `udev` drivers rely on the Device Index.

The instructions for installation on Linux systems
employed command syntax that is now deprecated and
often failed to provide natural contextual links
to external sources of information that covers
more complex tasks in greater detail. This commit
corrects those issues, along with the following:
- Add parameters to HTML `iframe` tag that handle
- Safely embedding external content
(`allow`, `referrerpolicy`, `sandbox`)
- Web accessibility "a11y" best practices
(`aria-label`, `name`, `role`, `title`)
- Graceful handling of network constraints
(`loading`)
- Convert links to Markdown "reference style" for
deduplication and easier updating of targets

- Identify the Product ID and Vendor ID of your controller: Ensure that the directory /storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/autoconfig/ remains empty, then restart RetroArch. This action will compel RetroArch to enter fallback mode, displaying a message like "[Controller name] ([Vendor ID]/[Product ID]) not configured, using fallback". Record the four-digit numbers for both IDs.
* **Back**: Needed to return to `Main Menu -> Quit` after configuring `Settings -> Directory -> Controller Profiles`, ensuring the settings are saved to retroarch.cfg.
- Modification Restrictions: You are not allowed to change existing autoconfig files. Files that are initially disabled have "(default-off)" in their names. Without root access, you cannot modify these files to toggle the input_vendor_id and input_product_id settings. This restriction applies to both the "(default-off)" files and the "original" autoconfig files, which are more widely used and have been set to be enabled by default. These original files must also be commented to make changes. This limitation affects both HID and non-HID files, as well as controllers with multiple autoconfig files, such as the Sony DualSense controller, which includes several Android autoconfig files.
- **Modification Restrictions:** Existing autoconfig files cannot be altered. Non-HID files (with "(default-off)" in their names) are disabled by default and require uncommenting of `input_vendor_id` and `input_product_id`. Conversely, these IDs must be commented in HID files.
- Comment above input_device: `# "Nintendo Co., Ltd. Pro Controller.cfg", and "Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.cfg", are copies except for the `input_device` variable value, which is modified to ensure the `linuxraw` driver can detect the controller across various Linux kernel versions.`
1. **Variable Replacement:**
- Replace `input_l2_btn` with `input_l2_axis`
- Replace `input_r2_btn` with `input_r2_axis`
2. **Suffix Importance:**
The `_axis` suffix is essential for ensuring proper analog functionality. Simply changing values without updating the suffix from `_btn` to `_axis` will not achieve the desired result.
3. **Common Pitfall:** Users often unintentionally incorporate analog variable values without properly adjusting the existing variable names to reflect their analog nature. This oversight frequently results in configuration problems within the system.
Emphasizes the importance of creating new entries for "input_l2_axis" and "input_r2_axis" instead of altering existing "input_l2_btn" and "input_r2_btn" settings
Update controller-autoconfiguration.md: Updated the axis labels for analog L2 and R2 inputs. Replaced "controller name" with "Device Index". Described that linxraw does not provide Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) info
It's important to note an exception involving the linuxraw driver. This driver uses an interface that does not provide Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) information. Instead, it only supplies a device name, which can be accessed using the `JSIOCGNAME` ioctl command from the Linux kernel. As a result, matching for controllers using the linuxraw driver relies more heavily on the device name rather than the usual vid:pid identifiers.
