Swagger Editor
An editor designed for Swagger
Swagger Editor lets you edit Swagger API specifications in YAML inside your browser and to preview documentations in real time. Valid Swagger JSON descriptions can then be generated and used with the full Swagger tooling (code generation, documentation, etc). swagger-editor is a traditional npm module intended for use in single-page applications that are capable of resolving dependencies (via Webpack, Browserify, etc). swagger-editor-dist is a dependency-free module that includes everything you need to serve Swagger Editor in a server-side project, or a web project that can't resolve npm module dependencies. If you're building a single-page application, using swagger-editor is strongly recommended, since swagger-editor-dist is significantly larger. -

Office Docs PowerShell
PowerShell Reference for Office Products
This repository aggregates documentation, examples, and cmdlet references for PowerShell modules that manage Microsoft 365 and Office services. It collects guidance for admins on tasks such as Exchange Online mail flow, SharePoint site provisioning, Teams configuration, and tenant-level policy settings—often including parameter examples, common scenarios, and troubleshooting notes. The docs are structured so operators can copy/paste ready examples into their automation scripts or adapt them for bulk changes using CSV-driven loops. Because cloud management frequently involves idempotent, auditable operations, the content emphasizes safe patterns (what changes will do, UI equivalents, and rollback hints). Versioning matters here: the repository tracks changes as Microsoft updates service APIs and cmdlets, helping teams stay current and avoid deprecated workflows. -

JSDoc
An API documentation generator for JavaScript
JSDoc 3 is an API documentation generator for JavaScript, similar to Javadoc or phpDocumentor. You add documentation comments directly to your source code, right alongside the code itself. The JSDoc tool will scan your source code and generate an HTML documentation website for you. JSDoc's purpose is to document the API of your JavaScript application or library. It is assumed that you will want to document things like modules, namespaces, classes, methods, method parameters, and so on. JSDoc comments should generally be placed immediately before the code being documented. Each comment must start with a /** sequence in order to be recognized by the JSDoc parser. Adding a description is simple, just type the description you want in the documentation comment. Once your code is commented, you can use the JSDoc 3 tool to generate an HTML website from your source files. -

apiDoc
RESTful web API documentation Generator
apiDoc creates a documentation from API annotations in your source code. apiDoc gives you the ability to attach a version number to an API so you can easily track changes between versions. Creates an apiDoc of all files within dir myapp/, uses template from dir mytemplate/ and put all output to dir apidoc/. Without any parameter, apiDoc generate a documentation from all .cs .dart .erl .go .java .js .php .py .rb .ts files in current dir (incl. subdirs) and writes the output to ./doc/. apiDoc include a default template which uses handlebars, Bootstrap, RequireJS and jQuery for the output of the generated api_data.js and api_project.js as a html-page. By default the generated apiDoc use a complex Template, which supports versioning, to view different versions of your API, and comparing, to view changes between two versions of your API. You can create your own template and use the apiDoc generated files. -
22
jsdoc-to-markdown
Generate markdown documentation from jsdoc-annotated javascript
Generates markdown API documentation from jsdoc annotated source code. Useful for injecting API docs into project README files. By default, dmd generates github-flavored markdown. Not all markdown parsers render gfm correctly. If your generated docs look incorrect on sites other than Github (e.g. npmjs.org) try enabling this option to disable Github-specific syntax. Two options to render parameter lists: 'list' or 'table' (default). Table format works well in most cases but switch to list if things begin to look crowded / squashed. By default, the output of each invocation of the main generation methods (render, getTemplateData etc) is stored in the cache (your system's temporary directory). Future jsdoc2md invocations with the same input options and source code will return the output immediately from cache, making the tool much faster/cheaper. If the input options or source code changes, fresh output will be generated. -

Woas (my wiki-on-a-stick fork)
Woas is a complete wiki in a single HTML file, forked from stickwiki.
NEW! Works with current IE, Firefox, and Chrome browsers. See the 'Loading & Saving' Woas page for details (in Woas file). Woas is a complete wiki in a single HTML file that works in every major browser, including older versions (even IE6!). It can store and display images and files within itself and is incredibly useful for research and documentation. This is my version of the WoaS (stickwiki) project. It is starting out as the home of my fixes to the 0.12.0 version that I am calling 0.13.0 (and hope will be published as such in the WoaS project), but may transition over time into a new and possibly incompatible version of the original tool, depending on what happens in the original project. I have dropped the 'Legacy' subproject; this project performs essentially the same function. After two years of inactivity it appears there may be life in the old project yet, so I am not making any decisions right now beyond using this project for my own, fixed version of WoaS 0.12.0. -
