I have to make a "microsite" under my application with documentation about it.<p>The concept must be very similar to any "programming project" style.. (codex.wordpress.org, guides.rubyonrails.org, docs.shopify.com/themes): I have to teach users how to do some tasks.<p>I started generating Markdown files and parsing them as html but I realized that the scope is a bit larger: I have to handle sidebar links, breadcrumb navs, translation support, etc)<p>Is there any tool/service/project for that? What is the best/common practice to solve it?
You probably want to look at help desk SaaS apps. Or bite the bullet and roll your own - FYI you can just render Markdown directly pretty easily in Rails/Sinatra to avoid pasting HTML :)
