citizen Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 What is the best online documentation software? I wrote some code and want to provide the instruction manual online. I want something that is open source (or free) and hopefully something that allows users to comment. Maybe the same software that is used at http://www.php.net/manual Which do you suggest?

neylitalo Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I can suggest phpDocumentor for PHP, or NaturalDocs. php.net uses XML and the DocBook DTD, which requires maintenance separate from the actual code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizen Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thank you! These solutions seem to focus on documenting the software level. This is important but is only half the documentation needed. The other half is the "how to". E.g. "how to install the software" or "how to use (as a user) certain web pages provided". What would you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Fire Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I would say some sort of wiki, MediaWiki is the must popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
