MkDocs is a fantastic static site generator (SSG) for project documentation. It builds quickly, its documentation source files are written in Markdown, and its sites are configured with a single YAML file. It has a wide variety of themes, and best of all, its built files are pure static HTML, which can be hosted anywhere.

With almost 14,000 stars on GitHub it’s clear that MkDocs has a large number of users, fans and contributors. That’s why we’re pleased to be bringing our collaborative editing CMS to MkDocs, so whole teams — even non-technical content team members or those just learning Markdown — can jump right in and be instantly productive. With CloudCannon’s Content Editor, you’ll be able to set up a rich text content editing experience that brings WYSIWYG editing to MkDocs’ build flow, all in a matter of minutes.
