Antora builds documentation websites from AsciiDoc stored in Git repositories, with multi-repository content aggregation, documentation versions, configurable playbooks, and static publishing.
About Antora
Antora is an open-source documentation site generator for teams writing in AsciiDoc. It gathers content from one or more Git repositories and assembles that material into a documentation website.
Documentation versions can follow repository branches, while a playbook specifies the content sources, website interface, and output configuration. Antora separates content from presentation and generates static pages that can be published through an automated workflow.
