Antora is a documentation site generator for projects that write their documentation in AsciiDoc.
It’s aimed at docs-as-code workflows and can assemble a complete documentation website from content stored in one or more Git repositories. Antora uses a defined project structure and configuration files to organize content into components and versions, then publishes the result as a static site.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Builds documentation sites from content stored in one or more Git repositories.
- Can pull content from selected branches, tags, and start paths.
- Uses a playbook file to define content sources, UI, site settings, and output.
- Identifies documentation components and versions using an
antora.ymldescriptor file. - Converts AsciiDoc content into HTML for publication as a static website.
- Supports extensions and custom generators to adapt the build pipeline.
