I’m going to outline a few that I’ve used, but I know there are plenty more.

NVALT PANDOC PROCESSING PDF
VoodooPad from Flying Meat is a great desktop wiki that is Markdown-friendly and can output multiple formats, including websites (for intranet or internet publication) and PDF documents for distribution.Īs an example, the TextMate Blogsmith Bundle documentation site is entirely generated and maintained in VoodooPad using Markdown.
It’s built with an older version and doesn’t take advantage of all the capabilities, but it works. The latest incarnation of VoodooPad includes a “Collections” feature which lets you organize the output in multiple ways, allowing you to create a more linear document that is more of a chapter-based guide and less of a wiki. Of course, it’s perfect for wiki-type documentation as well.
NVALT PANDOC PROCESSING PORTABLE
all source material contained in one place, and easily portable as a bundle.automatic wiki linking, programmable functionality.“Collections” pallette in 5.0 lets you organize chapters.Relatively easy to customize appearance of output.Not as portable as a folder of text, but you can easily export text files for use with other systems.ScreenSteps is designed for creating documentation. With a little hacking about in the template system, it’s easy to create a Markdown documentation system within the app. Output PDF, Blog posts and online documentation.Create an export template that renders Markdown.With the online sharing tools and the superb screenshot/annotation tools, it’s ideal for screen-based documentation of all sorts. The gollum wiki system from Github is a simple way to make a community (or solo) documentation system. You can use Github to host the wiki or run gollum on its own for a local intranet wiki. It doesn’t lend itself very well to linear documentation or PDF/e-book output, but it’s an ideal solution for group documentation of individual procedures, methods, style rules, etc. Optionally, you can combine the system with something like nvALT to make editing even easier. Because gollum allows you to store all of your files in a flat folder and create associations between them, nvALT can be a great tool with something like this. nvALT’s inability to handle multiple libraries and folders is a drawback, though. Customizing appearance takes more effort.Outputting print documentation difficult.Easy to secure for internal documentation.Presto, a wiki that can be publicly editable (with version control).gitignore file in the nvALT/project notes folder Store notes as text files in nvALT or a text project in Sublime, TextMate, etc.Any text editor that can handle “projects” can take its place and allow multiple folders and hierarchies, if needed. Marked has the ability to work with “index” files. These can be in Leanpub or mmd_merge format. It basically allows you to work with any folder hierarchy and generate complete documents for output. Combined with a system like gollum (above), it allows for the creation of print/PDF documentation from an otherwise scattered wiki. With custom processor capability, it can handle any form of markup you choose to use and you can script as necessary to handle includes and special document types such as “_sidebar” type inclusions.
