mkdocs

Domain: Documentation

🎯 Motivation

mkdocs is a fast, simple documentation generator that uses Markdown exclusively and produces static HTML. It is lighter than sphinx and ideal for projects where Markdown-only is preferred and advanced rst features are not needed.

📋 Concrete Example

You create a mkdocs.yml with site name and nav, write pages in docs/ as .md files, then run mkdocs build to generate a clean HTML site.

🔗 Analogy

If sphinx is a full publishing suite, mkdocs is a sleek blog platform. It does less, but it gets you a beautiful site faster with Markdown alone.
