Comment on Ask HN: Which Wiki or internal documentation tools do you use?

Comments

nvAlt 2, a fork of the original Notational Velocity, is a good option for personal use that supports MultiMarkdown: http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/

You can synchronize with Simplenote — https://simplenote.com/ — which has a mobile version so your notes are viewable on your phone.

You can also use double brackets for wiki functionality to automatically create a link to another page of the same name. For example, [[this]] would create a link to a page called ’this’.

Another option that is good for many people working together is Gollum, a wiki system built on top of Git. It is the basis for GitHub’s wiki pages, if I remember correctly: https://github.com/gollum/gollum
