Bookstack and custom PHP code
Depending on what you're attempting to do, there might be possibilities in using the logical theme system or maybe the visual theme system but it would probably take some real hackery.

Selfhosted knowledge management for an organization
I use BookStack in my organisation. It meets your requirements (a), (b) and partially (c). It supports LDAP but no Nextcloud integration.

New Company had no IT | HELP
After that, get an instance of bookstack going, set it up to authenticate against your domain, set it up right the FIRST time. And then start documenting everything as you go. Set up a GOOD structure for your documentation FIRST, do NOT do this after the fact, as you are likely to kick it like a can down the road constantly.

Effective Software Documentation*
There are various tools for creating software documentation; some of the popular ones are GitHub, Read The Docs, Docz, Docusaurus, Dropbox Paper, Documize, etc. You can use whichever tool you feel comfortable with, having in mind that they all have their ups and downs.

Anyone out there using DOCUMIZE?
The Documize Community Github description states that content PDF export is a feature of the Community+ edition, which is available for download on their download page here as opposed to the Github release builds. If you indeed have more than 10 users, then you can't use Community+, so you won't have the ability to natively export content as PDF.

Ask HN: Preferred Internal Wiki Platform?
I'm also interested in people's suggestions. I think the most popular choice is Confluence, which I don't like at all. The second most popular choice is probably Notion, which unfortunately is a bit too slow to consider great.
Two options I want to try are:
* Documize https://github.com/documize/community
* Nuclino https://www.nuclino.com/
