What is an AI documentation website builder?
Can I customize templates in an AI documentation builder?
What features should I look for in an AI documentation builder?
So I'm looking at some websites like Jest, React, or really any website that's for a framework/library, and I'm wondering if people use a specific framework, or some kind of static site generator. Since most of these websites are just static, I would assume they probably use a framework like Gatsby or something. I'm also aware that some people may use some documentation generator. Do you guys know of any tools?
docsify might meet your needs.


As simple as possible, ideally creating the website files in one command line.
A docsify site is created in one command.
docsify init ./docs
Possibility to navigate between files.
There is a sidebar to navigate between files.
Well supported / big community.
It's a 17.3k project. There are 160 contributors now(April 16, 2021).
Nice rendering, especially for code.
If possible, customizable for looks and a to give more control on layout.
It's customizable. You can find websites created by docsify and themes for docsify on Awesome Docsify.
General enough so that I can change tool if someday I decide I want finer control.
Don't worry. Many tools support Markdown. You can change the tool whenever you want.
If anyone's interested, I landed on using Hugo with hugo-geekdoc
- Looks great out of the box
- Really easy to setup / build / deploy
- Customizable at will (though I try not to loose too much time doing so)

Obviously it's a personal choice, and other solutions like docsify as @cyrus mentioned, or even the github wiki could also fit.
