Codocation is an IntelliJ-based documentation authoring tool. This site is built with it, and yours can be too.
IntelliJ Platform plugin
Documentation, without leaving your IDE
Codocation turns your project into a documentation site. Author in Markdown, preview live, and ship a static site or PDF without ever leaving the editor.
Everything you need to write and ship docs
Live preview
See your Markdown rendered instantly in a side panel, with scroll sync, as you type.
Visual navigation editor
Build the table of contents by drag-and-drop. Reorder, group, hide pages, and set the home page.
One-click publishing
Build a static site or export a polished PDF straight from the tool window.
Catalog and definitions
Manage labels, tags, and categories, and reuse variables, a glossary, and keymaps across pages.
Landing pages and blog
Compose section-based landing pages like this one, and run a blog alongside your docs.
Built-in validation
Broken links, duplicate ids, and malformed config are flagged inline as you edit.
From an empty project to a published site in three steps
