GitBook
The software that formatted what you're reading now.
After trying a couple hosted and self-hosted blogging solutions, I've settled on GitBook.com. GitBook itself is opensource software and gitbook.com provides a free or paid GitBook hosting service.
The thing that's best about GitBook is the way you can organize a structured outline of the site's contents. The other killer feature is it's ability to do code-related formatting, including:
- an editor almost as nice as Medium (and more featured)
- contents/outline with nesting and collapsing
- code blocks with language-specific highlighting
- tabs (e.g. to provide examples in different languages, platforms, etc.)
Case #1
Case #2
This is an example in case one.
This is an example for another case.
- API documentation form
get

/v1/cakes/:id
/v1/cakes/:id
- variants (e.g. different spoken language versions of a page)
- integrations: Slack, GitHub, Google Analytics, Intercom
- versioning of edits (as in why it's called 'git'book)
- the free gitbook.com service also allows using a custom domain name
