Hello everyone,<br><br>I was wondering if anyone can suggest a tool to manage user documentation online in a nice coherent fashion? I've looked at a lot of wikis and they are functionally very good but (usually) visually appalling. Ideally I'm looking for something that can provide the following:<br>
<ul><li>Easy to integrate Images and possibly video content</li><li>Source code highlighting for code snippets<br></li><li>Hierarchical chapters/categories</li><li>Searchable by keyword</li><li>Tables of contents generated for each page based on headings/sub headings</li>
<li>Easy to change the theme/default look</li><li>Multiple output formats (HTML, PDF)<br></li></ul>I've tried setting up dokuwiki but found its themes to be quite messy and broken from version to version.<br><br>Any suggestions would be appreciated!<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Mediawiki with its comprehensive extensions covers the above. The is the standard toolchain for Fedora/Red Hat covering online documentation and also for production of F.O.S.S. books :<br><br>Mediawiki <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki</a> <br>

<br>All of the above packages can be found in Fedora, Ubuntu & Debian repositories. It might be a bit over the top for your requirements but it works well.<br><br>Gordon<br><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
