Documentation as Code
I haven't found a great way to replicate that yet, the closest thing I have so far is gitiles on top of our gerrit instance, it can render markdown, including relative links, but it's not great experience yet, in particular you can't make menus that span multiple doc pages.

Examples with Github Pages?
I was thinking about using MkDocs, its usually used for documentation but I don't see why it couldn't be used for a normal wiki aswell. Since It's markdown you can just customize it like if it were a wiki, and a wiki doesn't really need backend stuff so I don't see a problem with it
