Ask HN: What tool do you use for creating technical documentation?

13 points by pravj ↗ HN
I want to create JavaScript and Python SDK documentation to share with (enterprise) clients in portable format likes PDF etc. Solutions like readme.io and readthedocs.io are good only for a web-based approach.

Sadly, Google Docs isn't a great option here even after using add-ons like Code Format and Prettier.

Let me know if I've missed something which is already around.

Just write it in Markdown and render it out?
Sphinx. It's capable of output in both HTML and PDF formats.
Currently trying Vuepress. Works great so far!
Wasn't looking for web-based solutions but this one looks great. Better than Slate and README.io on some parameters.
