Nice list! I've also used [nimibook](https://pietroppeter.github.io/nimibook/).

Its a port of mdbook to Nim, but also extends it with the ability to generate interactive content as well using Nim's Javascript backend. Though I haven't tried this piece myself I like the idea of an all in one way to make interactive elements when desired: https://pietroppeter.github.io/nimib/interactivity.html

Notable mention to [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/). It's workflow is more tuned to the "book" format rather than the blog, forum or thread format.

HackMD is often my go-to to create a shareable (and collaboratively editable) markdown document that supports math notation.

I'd like to see a feature comparison table/site for these tools?

Which ones have...?

  - search built in
  - PDF output
  - ePub output
  - more than one theme
  - lots of other stuff

Also, https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/

(nb) I collaborate on Jupyter Book

Also, Bookdown (https://bookdown.org/)

Plz add [Lektor](https://getlektor.com).

Happy user here.

How about Retype? https://retype.com

Shameless plug for Doctave [0], which offers a solid way to combine markdown and OpenAPI specs into a documentation site.

It's a hosted SaaS, so it's technically not a static-site generator, but it's an alternative to the above.
