Just what you need

A good plugin, and most importantly not overloaded with unnecessary functionality. There is only one disadvantage, as was written in the previous review, is the lack of clear documentation. But I am a programmer, I got into the code and figured it out).

There are better (explained)

A plugin that is supposed to be quite good, but after some time i gave up. Let's face it, a documentation plugin that does without any documentation at all. An irony, isn't it? Nothing is explained, there is no documentation, no faqs, nothing… sorry, but i have other things to do than find out how a plugin works.

Can this generate TOC?

I like this plugin. I was wondering if it can generate a table of content for the articles. That's the only missing feature for me.

The best documentation plugin by far

This plugin is perfect. I've tried every single plugin and theme. I'd previously settled on documentor. But it's not being maintained and bugs are emerging with every wordpress update. I've also tried the knowledge bases. And I thought I'd have to give up and write my own. But then, after two days of searching and trying updated versions of everything I could find, I stumbled across DocsPress. It looks like it's based on another earlier tech. But it's so clean, simple, and fast. I can't recommend it highly enough. TIPS for authors 1) For a knowledgebase, use Document (product etc), Section (topic), and Article (Content) and SubArticle (sub-content). 2) For authoring books (a) use Document (Book), (b) Sections limit to "Book text", "Notes", "Characters", "Locations", "Background" (novel, script), and Research(nonfiction) etc. and (c) The build the entire book from front matter through chapters, to back-matter out of chapters (articles) and topics(sub-articles) (that's the maximum depth: document to section to article to sub-article ). (This model is similar to say, Scrivener). NITS: There are a few nits as in anything: 1) There is no facility for controlling the layout. Which is fine except you can't center the content on the screen or configure how wide to display the content. You have to go in and create css to do it. And the new wordpress editor makes that almost impossible. (a) I"d like to be able to configure whether the toc+article are centered or justified. (b) I'd like to be able to determine the width of article text(content). 2) Given that you can either page through Sections, or articles, each 'section' is in fact a separate context. Aside from that this really is the best available.
