Alternatives to MkDocs

Given that MkDocs is no longer actively maintained, concerns about plugin dependencies, or looking for different trade-offs, several alternatives exist for building static documentation sites. Some of them are:

Zensical

Zensical is a static site generator, developed by the creator of Material for MkDocs. While not being a plugin anymore, it is fully backwards compatible to the mkdocs.yml file and serves as a replacement for MkDocs.

Sphinx

Sphinx is a mature documentation tool widely used in the Python community.

Jekyll

Jekyll is a static site generator that powers GitHub Pages.

Docusaurus

Docusaurus is built by Meta and combines React and modern web standards for documentation. It is component based and builds single-page applications.

Quarkdown

Quarkdown is a new promosing typesetting system based on Markdown that also tries to support and simplify LateX. It uses its own Markdown flavour.
