[ddj] Tool for User's Guide

Sat Jun 6 23:32:58 UTC 2015

I've used both GitBook and ReadTheDocs. If you want/need to get under
the hood, GitBook is built on Node.js and ReadTheDocs is built on
Python. GitBook also has a marketplace if you want to charge for your
books.

There's also LeanPub, which is similar to GitBook and has a
marketplace. You can't "get under the hood" with the LeanPub
toolchain, though - it only runs on their servers. Personally, I think
lack of a marketplace is a show-stopper; if you can't ask for the sale
you're wasting your writing time. ;-)
