Unfragile

The request "make-documentation" names no specific product and no platform, so the right tool depends on what is being documented. For generating a static project documentation site from Markdown, MkDocs 2 and Sphinx 4 are the established options; for documenting source code from comments, Doxygen 3 fits; for hosting and building versioned docs from a Git repository, Read the Docs 8 fits.

A question back: What are you documenting (a source code API, a project guide, or a product for end users), and which language or platform should the documentation be built for?
