Markdown, Asciidoc, or reStructuredText - a tale of docs-as-code
Unlike docToolchain or Asciidoctor, Antora is a true framework for Asciidoc that can store, retrieve, and aggregate all Asciidoc content from multiple git repositories. Antora’s page referencing system isn’t coupled to filesystem paths or URLs. You are able to cross reference pages across a local machine, a staging environment, and a production environment. To generate a site with Antora, you need the Antora CLI and Antora site generator.

Markdown, Asciidoc, or reStructuredText - a tale of docs-as-code
An implementation of the docs-as-code approach, docToolchain is a collection of scripts that makes it easy to create and maintain powerful technical documentation. It is a popular open-source project that uses jBake under the hood as the SSG. docToolchain can publish to Confluence, generate PDF using an Asciidoctor plugin, and more.
