  • markdoc

    A powerful, flexible, Markdown-based authoring framework.

    Consider going down the docs-as-code route. There are open source options that require an investment of time for you to become familiar with the tech stack, so learn Markdown and Git if you haven't already. Stripe (who many consider to have some of the best documentation available) created Markdoc as a means of easily maintaining solid docs with some of the fancy quirks of the upper-end doc tools, including content re-use.
