splunk documentation tool: home-made or shop-bought?

[frank2010]

Hi,

I really like the Splunk documentation. It's great that it's available in HTML format on the website and a PDF can be generated on the fly. Just wondering how you do it -- is it something you built yourselves or do you use an off-the-shelf software product to create it?

Thanks!

Frank.

Although this question refers to the previous docs system, here's some info on an open source project with the new Splunk docs system:

It's a little of both. The base is MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki).
