📖 Documentation · 💻 GitHub

🚀 Quickstart

cargo install docanvil
docanvil new my-docs
cd my-docs
docanvil serve

Open localhost:3000 — your site is live with hot reloading. ⚡

When you're ready to deploy:

docanvil build

Static HTML goes to dist/, ready to host anywhere.

✨ Why DocAnvil?

Most documentation tools either look great but lock you in, or give you control but demand hours of configuration. DocAnvil gives you both — a site you'll be proud of out of the box, with the flexibility to make it your own.

• 🏎️ Instant results — scaffold, serve, and start writing in under a minute
• 🎨 Beautiful by default — clean, readable design with dark mode, syntax highlighting, and responsive layout
• 🔄 Live reloading — see every edit reflected instantly in your browser
• 📝 Rich Markdown — tabs, admonitions, code groups, diagrams, popovers, and wikilinks built in
• 🎛️ Fully customisable — themes, templates, and CSS variables let you match any brand
• 🌍 Static output — deploy to GitHub Pages, Netlify, S3, or anywhere that serves HTML
• ⚡ Fast — Rust-powered builds that scale with your content
