Software for formatting / web-publishing tutorial-type, technical articles
- by gojira
I want to put some of my own technical writing on the web: tutorials, how-to's, conceptual articles about programming etc. I write mostly for myself yet, but think others can benefit from it so I want to put it online, and I also have plans of making everything more coherent and turning it into a book.
My articles are not meant as a blog, they're just meant as a collection of tutorials and how-to's, but I think a blog-type software would probably be the most appropriate mode of formatting that kind of stuff.
Right now I am using the blog feature of cite u like, which is very low tech and I really need something better. On my wish list is, among other things:
code snippets in scrollable boxes
syntax highlighting for source code snippets
tagging articles with graphical icons according to topic, like in slashdot
of course users (i.e. readers) should be able to comment on articles
Also, just more options than a super-simple blog
should look slick! should not look wikipedia-like
Is there any software you can recommend for this purpose?
