Books.jl: Create Books with Julia
If you can pre-build the index, Lunr seems to work well, but it doesn't support Chinese. R/bookdown switched for these reasons recently to fuse.js.
There is discussion of some of the other options and their tradeoffs here:

Bookdown vs. Jupyter-book. Any advantages of using one over the other?
I'm familiar with R Bookdown and I know it produces some excellent results as far as HTML books go, with plenty of templates already available for those who don't know or don't like CSS/JS.

Introducing: an Eleventy starter project for WCAG reports
Awesome idea. I do something similar using GitHub issues to capture each issue, tag with relevant WCAG criteria, then export markdown for each issue via a python script that links cross references from GitHub issues, creates links for all WCAG criteria referenced and then complies into all into HTML (and PDF if needed) using https://bookdown.org

Ph.D student looking for *casual* machine learning source to lear from for R
Have a look in https://bookdown.org/, lots of resources there.

Good projects/books for learning R?
You can try the R Bookdown site (https://bookdown.org/)! There's access to a lot of free R material there and is one of the main places where I learned R.

Ask HN: How do you organize software documentation at work?
I'm responsible for a number of Java products. I try to provide high-quality Javadoc for all public library interfaces, library user's guides where appropriate, and development guides for applications. The latter two take the form of MDBook documents (https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/), with the document source living in the GitHub repo so that it's tied to the particular software release in a natural way.

Outline: Self hostable, realtime, Markdown compatible knowledge base
My org has used mdBook: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/ (That link is itself a rendered mdBook, so that'll give you an idea of the feature set.)
(While it's definitely a Rust "thing", if you just have a set of .md files, all you need is a "SUMMARY.md" (which contains the ToC) and a small config file; i.e., you don't have to have any Rust code to use it, and it works fine without. We document a large, mostly non-Rust codebase with it.)

Ask HN: Best tools for self-authoring books in 2023?
If you want the lowest friction, open source, easily extensible Markdown to Web, Kindle, PDF, etc. tool, highly recommend mdBook: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook it’s written in Rust, but you don’t have to know any Rust to use it. And then wing is all CSS; for which there are many good (free) themes.
