WikiDocs: The Simplest Markdown Knowledge Base - A Database-Free Documentation Tool
What is WikiDocs?
WikiDocs is a flat-file Wiki engine that requires no database. What does this mean? You don't need to set up any complex database environment; all documents are stored as Markdown files in folders.
It is a Markdown-based flat-file Wiki engine that provides features like a WYSIWYG editor, built-in sitemap generator, image upload, syntax highlighting, and page version control.
