Sorry for being off topic. I’d just love to know what tools you use to build the documentation since it looks pretty awesome.

Thanks!

Thanks! I’d love to be able to say we’ve got some awesome system in place to do this but for the most part the documentation is generated manually when it is updated and applied to the layout. We’re not using any 3rd party system to generate it.

Ahh, got it, I was thinking maybe you’re using something like https://github.com/lord/slate for rendering the docs:)

Thanks for the answer!
