Sorry to go off topic but I can recommend HuGo for simple markdown web
pages.
Cheers

Hmmm, no-one has any thoughts here ... and I'm on ma' own reinventing
the wheel? Surely tehre's a canonical way to provide help on Django
website . I'm leaning toward simple flatpages app with a tinymce
editor for them for the admin.

I'm at the point of wanting to write some help for a website, the
standard helpfile sort of scenario ;-). If that means little to
you, just a hierarchy of pages that document things and can be
linked.
I wrote page one with the Django flatpages app:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/flatpages/
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/flatpages/>
But it's not real comfy in terms of editing and maintaining. So I
looked on-line for solutions and of course nothing with "help" in
the search terms is going anywhere fast (finds me a lot of help
about Django ;-). so better keywordss needed but I have found a
pile of maybe options and am suddenly bamboozled by what is vogue,
current, maintained, has a lasting future etc.

Untouched in 4 years with 22 open issues Hmm.
And this looks nice:
https://github.com/mjr27/django-flatpages-tinymce
<https://github.com/mjr27/django-flatpages-tinymce>
but untouched in 7 years and 4 open issues.
Now untouched doesn't mean bad, could just be mature, stable and
works perfectly, already fro 7 years. These are the things it's
hard to gauge. But if I'm looking at TinyMCE how about:
https://github.com/aljosa/django-tinymce
<https://github.com/aljosa/django-tinymce>
on which it depends. NO bad, updated a month ago to make it work
with Django 2.1 so seems alive! But my site is math heavy so I
want equation ease so how about:
And this looks good:
https://www.codecogs.com/latex/integration/tinymce_v3/install.php
<https://www.codecogs.com/latex/integration/tinymce_v3/install.php>
This looks maybe:
https://github.com/iCAPLyon1/tinymce-formula
<https://github.com/iCAPLyon1/tinymce-formula>
This looks unconvincing:
https://github.com/foraker/tinymce_equation_editor
<https://github.com/foraker/tinymce_equation_editor>
and do we want this:
https://github.com/Tivix/django-flatpages-nav
<https://github.com/Tivix/django-flatpages-nav>
or this as well:
Or hang on why do this piecemeal why not use Wagtail from the word go:
http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.4/index.html
<http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.4/index.html>
Or would wagtail introduce too much coordination trouble between
its templates and my sites ... etc. etc. I'm full of questions and
really just wondering, is there a canonical solution to a site
documentation page hierarchy and managing it nicely?
Regards,
Bernd.
