Hi,

Along with others over at on an Open Source editor project for *TeX writing 
called TeXworks, 

https://www.tug.org/texworks/

At present I help maintain documentation for the editor's Scripting API – 
informally known as TwScript.

http://twscript.paulanorman.com/docs/index.html

Till now it has been maintained with the very good HelpnDoc (written in 
Delphi), which from a local WYSIWYG interface, can throw out a static website, 
pdf, chm, docx, and even a version of an MD (MarkDown) dialect.

https://www.helpndoc.com/

But there has been a minor discussion on the TeXworks list,

https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texworks

around finding a web based solution, so that rather than being produced from a 
single local client interface (as I presently do), group contribution and 
editing can take place.

I am keen to pursue that. 
And discussion has turned to Yihui Xie's "bookdown" as a possible solution. 
Through pandoc, 
pdf doc html and other things are possible.

Authoring Books with R Markdown: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/

Yihui is a major contributor to R, and also releases a tiny TeX solution for 
producing pdf etc for their documentation.

He was recently hosted on a discussion on YouTube–

Before settling on https://bookdown.org  I wanted to ask if anyone on the list 
else has had experience with solutions to collaborative help file production, 
and has any suggestions for a system and hosting environments please?

Paul
