Doctave
Documentation site generator that converts Markdown files into a developer documentation site, distributed as a Rust binary.
Doctave is a command-line tool that converts a folder of Markdown files into a documentation site. It is written in Rust and distributed as a single binary, installed from precompiled downloads, through Homebrew, or with Cargo from the GitHub repository. doctave serve previews the site locally, and doctave build --release writes it as a static bundle into the site directory.
The open source tool is built and maintained by Doctave.com.
Worth knowing
The README says Doctave is not a generic static site generator and only generates documentation sites from Markdown. The deployment guide walks through publishing on GitHub Pages.
