Have you people considered simply moving the documentation to a wiki?
For example, MediaWiki?

No. Mediawiki's syntax is a pile of stinking something. There is not
even a formal syntax defined; the reference is MW's parser.
This is true, however no one is forcing us to use all the capabilities
of MW. Just the basic syntax should be enough.
You have to use HTML tags inside the markup to make literal text even!
(These aren't really HTML; these are wikitext tags that are sometimes
the same as HTML tags.) And why is that necessarily a bad thing? As I
said, I find:
<source lang=php>
<? echo "Hello world!";
</source>
more readable than:
```
<? echo "Hello world!";
```
