DocToolchain

Create awesome docs the easy way!

docToolchain is a collection of scripts that makes it easy to create and maintain powerful technical documentation. Built on best-of-breed open source technologies, we deliver the best docs toolchain so you don’t have to.

docToolchain v4 is in the works— a ground-up, LLM-native rewrite for the GenAI age. Still in development —

v3 (this site) remains the stable release.

docToolchain is fully open source

                    No vendor lock-in. No contracts. One of our core goals with the architecture is to allow you to modify docToolchain to meet your unique needs.

jBake works silently under the hood

                    We chose the excellent jBake as our static site generator so you can focus on your docs.

We love AsciiDoc

                    No wasting time choosing which Ascii flavour to use.
                    AsciiDoc has everything you need ready to go.

Multi-repository builds are in Git

                    Since all of your dev environments already contain a Git client, we didn't add another one. Just use Git to create your multi-repository builds.
