Ask HN: What’s the best way to publish a wiki to the web?

• MkDocs

  114 18,293 9.0 Python

  Project documentation with Markdown.

  

• Read the Docs

  33 7,881 9.7 Python

  The source code that powers readthedocs.org

  

Pelican [1] can translate markdown to html. However, I think read the docs [2] and Sphinx [3] are more suitable for a wiki (but it uses RST). Also, you can use themes [3].

  5 83 8.1 Python

  A wiki/blogging engine with a static file back-end

I am using roughly 200 lines of Fennel to do that, and my current website (taoofmac.com) is nothing more than 17+ years of that exact approach, but using Python.

If you’re looking for inspiration, the older source code is up at https://github.com/rcarmo/sushy. The current version is pure Python 3, but I haven’t cleaned it up for public use (and likely never will, since I want to do something simpler now).

• Wiki.js

  122 23,523 7.1 Vue

  Wiki.js | A modern and powerful wiki app built on Node.js
