5 Best Static Site Generators in Python
Sphinx is primarily known as a documentation generator, but it can also be used to create static websites. It excels in generating technical documentation, and its support for multiple output formats, including HTML and PDF, makes it a versatile tool. Sphinx uses reStructuredText for content creation and is highly extensible through plugins.

User Guides in Code Documentation: Empowering Users with Usage Instructions
Sphinx a documentation generator or a tool that translates a set of plain text source files into various output formats, automatically producing cross-references, indices, etc. That is, if you have a directory containing a bunch of reStructuredText or Markdown documents, Sphinx can generate a series of HTML files, a PDF file (via LaTeX), man pages and much more.

MdBook – Create book from Markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust
Notable mentions to [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/). It's workflow is more tuned to the "book" format rather than the blog, forum or thread format.

best packages for documenting the flow of logic?
Currently trying out Sphinx (https://www.sphinx-doc.org) and the trying to get the autodocgen feature to see what that can do.

Generate PDF from file (docstrings)
So, I've documented my code and now I need a .PDF with this documentation. Is there any easy way to do it? Once I used Sphinx but it generated a not so easy .TeX.

Introducing AutoPyTabs: Automatically generate code examples for different Python versions in MkDocs or Sphinx based documentations
AutoPyTabs allows you to write code examples in your documentation targeting a single version of Python and then generates examples targeting higher Python versions on the fly, presenting them in tabs, using popular tabs extensions. This all comes packaged as a markdown extension, MkDocs plugin and a Sphinx, so it can easily be integrated with your documentation workflow.

dictf - An extended Python dict implementation that supports multiple key selection with a pretty syntax.
Honestly, I think it's just an issue of documentation. For example, if there was an easier way to document @overload functions, that would help (cf. https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/7787)

Minimum Viable Hugo – No CSS, no JavaScript, 1 static HTML page to start you off
I like Sphinx [0] with the MyST Markdown syntax [1]. There is a related project, Myst NB [2], which enables including Jupyter notebooks in your site. There is also a plugin for blogging [3].

Marketing for Developers
Sphinx is the go-to tool for documentation. It took me a while to understand how to use Sphinx, but I now have a decent workflow with MyST which allows me to write all the docs in markdown. My sphinx-markdown-docs repo shows an example of what I do.

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.
