Daux.io

Daux.io is a PHP documentation generator. It reads Markdown files from a docs folder, builds the navigation from the folder structure, and is installed with Composer or run from a Docker image. The getting started guide describes writing pages and running daux generate.

The content stays in the Markdown files, and the same source can be written out as a set of static files, or served live by a web server that runs PHP for each request.

Worth knowing

The live mode page says live mode can be used for production but is not recommended. It scans the whole documentation directory on each request, which can become a bottleneck on larger documentation sets.
