Markdoc is geared towards managing technical documentation, but can be used for a range of purposes. Markdoc has a few notable selling points:
* Wikis are made up completely of plaintext files, so you can easily put them under version control.
* Wikis compile into standalone HTML directories, which can be distributed as tarballs or served by a HTTP server.
* You can optionally include static media which will be compiled into the HTML directory alongside all your rendered pages.
* Markdoc comes with a fully-functional pure-Python WSGI application and HTTP server for serving up compiled wikis.
* You can render your wiki with a variety of Markdown extensions, such as Pygments-based code highlighting, extended syntax for definition lists, TOC generation, et cetera.
* You can completely customize how your wiki is rendered by editing the Jinja2 templates used to convert rendered Markdown into full HTML documents.

Layout
Markdoc wikis have the following default layout:
WIKI_ROOT/
|-- .html/
|-- .templates/
|-- .tmp/
|-- static/
|-- wiki/
`-- markdoc.yaml
The .html/ and .tmp/ directories should be excluded from any VCS, since they contain temporary files.
Consult the layout documentation in doc/wiki/layout.md for more information on the roles of various subdirectories.
Requirements:
- Python
- pip
- rsync
