Documentation via MkDocs

MkDocs is a static site generator built in Python that is commonly used for creating documentation websites. It allows you to write documentation in Markdown format and generates a static HTML website from those Markdown files. MkDocs provides a simple and intuitive way to organize and structure your documentation, making it easy to create professional-looking documentation sites.

With MkDocs, you can customize the appearance of your documentation using themes and templates, and you can extend its functionality using various plugins. It also supports features like live preview, search functionality, and automatic table of contents generation.

MkDocs is widely used in the software development community and is well-suited for creating documentation for projects, libraries, APIs, and more. It is easy to set up and use, making it a popular choice for documenting projects of all sizes.
