Anyone have a suggestion for building a programming language documentation and reference site? particularly that's beginner-friendly, emphasizes the reference, and makes it easy to handle/build a reference page for all of the language's functions?
I am currently looking at:
* hugo documentation themes
* MKDocs
* adapting my own static site generator again - though this may not be robust enough over time
* i keep reading about documentation generators but i don't really grok the idea yet
