I tried most of the above mentioned and settled down with MkDocs for its simplicity. It produces static web pages so you can easily host it with any web server.

How to deploy a static site using Mkdocs and Netlify
MkDocs is an open-source static site generator that is used to create documentation websites. It is written in Python and is built on top of the Jinja2 template engine. It uses Markdown files as the source for the documentation, and it generates a static HTML website that can be hosted on any web server.

Is it just me or is the quality of the Boost API docs just.. kind of terrible? Like compare it to cppreference (very good) or Qt docs (also great).
https://www.mkdocs.org/ is what they are using.

When did filelight transfer to QML?
Gitlab has implemented GitHub Pages feature, so KDE can do this. I don't know enough about Meson, but I have used MKDocs to generate websites for Node.js and Python projects.

Markdown, Asciidoc, or reStructuredText - a tale of docs-as-code
Configured with a single YAML file, MKDocs is the fourth Markdown framework on my list, which falls in the category of SSG. Although there are not as many as in Hugo, MKDocs offers a few official themes and a number of third party themes. As a Python-based framework, you can use pip to install MKDocs plugins. You can follow this getting started guide for your first MKDocs project.

Starlite development updates January ’23
The second biggest one will be moving away from mkdocs and to Sphinx. During the process of the documentation overhaul, it has become clear that, while a great tool, mkdocs simply is not fit for the purpose of providing well structured, larger scale documentation. It definitely has its merits, and I would absolutely recommend it for someone looking for a simple tool to write not to complex docs, but if it's going to be more involved, mkdocs' shortcomings will catch up with you at some point.

Formatting my writing samples for a WordPress site...
You could try MkDocs, upload to GitHub, and host with GitHub Pages. This also allows you to use HTML and CSS if you want to customise the theme, and you can use Markdown for formatting any docs.

Ask HN: What platform/tool do you use for software documentation?
Other people mentioned code comments and Markdown files, I'm inclined to agree.
I've used code comments pretty well to explain both non-trivial technical details, as give a quick rundown of business requirements that are the basis for some code existing, maybe with links back to an issue tracking system where more context is needed. Markdown files are better if you want to include images/videos/animations/diagrams and provide more context, or step by step instructions on how to do something, which is great because you can easily search through them, as they're just text. Code can typically explain what it does itself but not necessarily why, so it's great to have either of the tools at your disposal.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with external Wikis either, though some are implemented better than others IMHO.
Confluence is sometimes the only choice you get, so having it is better than having nothing.
GitLab and GitHub also have integrated Wikis, as do other solutions: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki and https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-proj...
For ones to host separately, I've found BookStack to be pretty good in its simplicity/usability/performance: https://www.bookstackapp.com/
As for other solutions that are meant specifically for documentation, Read the Docs might be of appeal to some: https://readthedocs.org/
You can probably also use Sphinx (used by Flask): https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/ or MkDocs: https://www.mkdocs.org/ or something else entirely.
