Help and Manual (I've used for several years)

HelpNDoc Looks Cool Also (Free Personal Edition with WaterMarks. Inexpensive for standard edition)

I have also used Confluence. $10 one time payment for self hosted 10 user

I recently started working with Dockuwiki as well for an internal site I'm creating
https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki

Dokuwiki has Bootstrap themes and all the site page files are stored as text files so you can programmatically update your site or edit the markdown files quickly.

subject: Re: [PCTECH] Documentation Software

Even though OP specifically expressed doubts about a wiki, that seems to be a popular choice.

To get an idea of the free ones out there, check out this list on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software

Notably, all 6 of the primary implementation languages featured on that list are available for PASE, so there are plenty of choices that could run on the i if desired.

One of the ones on the list is DokuWiki, which specifically positions itself as a documentation system.

Please understand I have no personal experience with any wiki software, other than making a few edits on a handful of wiki sites, including Wikipedia.
