Poll: Documentation Methods?
So I had documentation at some point just using a website, however, I didn't have any time at all to code a back-end system, so I was editing hard-coded text within a template I had made, and really just became a pain in the rear. I want to port all of my documentation for my scripts over; so the question is: What options do people use?
So far I've seen:
- PDF included
- MediaWiki
- Steam Guides
At one point, I tried Steam Guides, but you have ZERO control over commenting or banning people from viewing it. I had a guy spamming my comments with "PAID MODS SUCK RAWR XDXDXD" and everytime I deleted it, he'd just re-post. I don't like not having that type of control to get rid of some idiot.
I thought about the MediaWiki one, but I don't have a lot of experience with markup or doing the template for it (very limited on time because of other projects). So, ideas, suggestions?
Ideally, I'd just do a wiki, with steam login, and a way to check purchases, but then comes my original issue, I have zero time to invest in coding the system. I may need to hire someone with experience if that's the route I choose to go. My days are full enough, don't need one more project.
Hmm what's the problem with having public docs? I personally use Sphinx on ReadTheDocs but it's also not ideal. Good thing is you can render it as pdf to ship with the script.
If I were to use a documention that wasn't an online wiki i'd prefer a PDF file over everything else. I don't see anything wrong with public documentation though.

I hadn't checked into ReadTheDocs yet, I'll poke a look at it. Seems simple enough. Thanks!

If you don't want spambots, just turn off public contribution.....

But on topic I would rather have PDFs
Include them with the files for your script??????
