Ask HN: Best tool used for hosting API and technical documentation

Hey!

What tool do you use for exposing API & technical documentation to your customers? A tool that produces nice looking, dynamic pages. Can be a paid solution. Do you have any recommendations (in 2021) based on your experience?

GitBook produces very nice-looking documentation. It is a hosted service (SaaS) - free for open source projects. The paid option is for commercial projects.

There have examples of documentation from different companies on their website.
