homebrewery VS Dokuwiki

I want to create an east-asian inspired tavern. Once I'm done I'll post on this subreddit a polished version (using The Homebrewery). By commenting you are giving me permission to copy your suggestions.

I made this one to mimic the Baldur's Mouth newspaper, as seen in BG3, using the Homebrewery - I created a template here.

Quite a few people seem to think there should be (and are surprised to find there isn't) something that lets them dump in their Google Doc design and have it magically formatted into a pretty PDF for them. Something like Homebrewry, but not D&D-centric, and they probably expect it to be even easier than however you edit stuff on there.

One example that I contribute to: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com

It is a code mirror app that outputs md styled like dnd books. It’s very much a “round peg in square hole” project, using html/css to create print materials, but for many it is good enough. It is just html and css, and allows customization, and precise styling requires precise css properties.

As you noted, it does only work well in one browser, Chrome on desktop (even though I think all the devs use FF as their daily driver). But as another commenter noted, the answer is that you design on one machine and share via pdf.

For layout, you can start with something like The Homebrewery.

Dokuwiki for Documentation

I have used DokuWiki in few personal and work (non-gamedev) projects. Seems to work well. https://www.dokuwiki.org/

While considering alternatives, I thought about DokuWiki, which looks like an unlikely solution, and Nextcloud, which I've already used in the past. Both seem a good option in their own right, though I favor Nextcloud because it's a more direct approach. However, I'm inclined towards a solution that's leaner and less bloated. Nevertheless, if any of those is the one that is most likely to solve my dilemma, I'm open towards using any of those two. I'm also investigating Anytype.io, which seems like the best option, but it seems it works with an invitation.

FYI, the PR is https://github.com/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/pull/3798 if you want to read about it

The oldest and still supported software that will cover all your list - is: DokuWiKi It is web based, but there on site you can even find portable installation on flash drive. No database, plain files as backend.

I already have a Dokuwiki set up on my home server, which would make it easy to attach notes and datasheets to the various items. But I wonder if there are some purpose made solutions for this. Not too complicated or it won't be updated very often...

joplin or DokuWiKi

DocuWiKi - one of the oldest one, no need for database and it even has thumbdrive version

Also, a release candidate has been tagged, so a new version should be coming "soon".
