cppreference-doc VS mdBook

C++ reference websites, such as cplusplus.com and cppreference.com.

A couple tips: * To look up info about the C++ language and standard libraries, cppreference is fantastic. * The godbolt compiler explorer is very cool for investigating "is this code legal" and "what assembly does this compile to" type questions.

Learn as much of the stl as possible (https://en.cppreference.com/)

Actually, en.cppreference.com/ is OK. I often lookup here every time I write C++.

https://en.cppreference.com/ as a web app, i can never win, im never good enough

Why not just en.cppreference.com ?

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.

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.)

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.

Interesting enough there seems to be an open PR for that: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/pull/1918
