  3. sphinx

    The Sphinx documentation generator

    Project mention: Hacktoberfest week 2 | dev.to | 2024-10-14

    I am aware of Docusaurus, since I have seen other documentation and some of our course material site built on it. Under the hood it uses React so I was familiar with it. But this documentation website was written in Python. Although I'm not a fan of Python, it intrigued me, since not only it is written in python, more specifically using Sphinx which utilizes reStructuredText as its markup language. There was Makefile in it as well. A lot of new things but it looked very interesting.
