mkdocs-material VS Read the Docs

Material Mk-Docs by Martin Donath works well if you prefer python.

I'm an 'outsider', but from from the outside the Material For MkDocs Project looks like a very well managed open source project.

Martin Donath's project uses a 'sponsorware' release strategy to generate donations.

From my vantage point it seems to be working pretty well.

I just recently went through this decision process. My aim is to write code and math oriented posts so I need good support for nice syntax highlighting (at least colored) and mathjax (preferable) or katex. Substack is the most popular newsletter platform but fails at these two criteria. I love how math and syntax highlighting (plus numerous other features) work in MkDocs Material, which recently added a Blog plugin.

I wanted to combine the best of both: Substack as an amazing email social network, and MkDocs Material’s awesome look. So I’ve gone with using Substack as the core platform which I use to manage subscribers, and use it to post either math/code-free posts or a short teasers pointing to my main blog site on MkDocs Material when I need to show math/code

I've been migrating content to MKDocs (Material) over the last few months, so feel fairly qualified on this subject. It's somewhat limited in terms of navigation, but can probably handle 400-500 pages; you can see how navigation works in the link. Otherwise, it can handle most, if not all, the tasks you've listed.

I went to https://readthedocs.org/ and redirected me to https://about.readthedocs.com/?ref=readthedocs.org which looks proprietary now, with pricing and such.

Is it the end of this project, as we know it?

Can someone enlighten me please?

First things first, sign up on Read the Docs and connect your GitHub account. This allows Read the Docs to access your repositories.

ReadTheDocs - ReadTheDocs hosts documentation for many Django packages. It provides easy access to comprehensive documentation, including installation instructions, configuration guides, and usage examples.

fixes are here: https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/issues/10290

Read the Docs offers free hosting of Sphinx-based documentation. I recommend setting up a basic documentation very early so that you can easily add material when you have something to write about. I also recommend studying The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation, but don't overthink it.

ReadTheDocs: An open-source platform for creating and hosting documentation, with support for multiple programming languages and integration with version control systems.

Well, by now I really invite all the readers to join and read more about the datadelivery Terraform module. There is a huge documentation page hosted on readthedocs with many useful information about how this project can help users on their analytics journey in AWS.

ReadTheDocs is a free way to host your open-source documentation.

They are using this infrastructure as the moat. ReadTheDocs is also doing the same thing.

That "/*/tree" rule means that search engine crawlers are allowed to hit the README file of a repo but effectively NONE of the other files in it.

Which means that if you keep your project documentation on GitHub in a docs/ folder it won't be indexed!

You need to publish it to a separate site via GitHub Pages, or use https://readthedocs.org/
