Sure it can. See http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/embeddeddoc.wiki for a description. Every page of the Fossil website (http://www.fossil-scm.org/) except for the precompile-binary download page, is done exactly this way. The document source files (usually Fossil Wiki, but HTML, plaintext, and Markdown can also be used) are part of the source tree and are checked in and checked out and edited just like C-code. The only thing you can't do is edit the content on-line. In order to edit the content, you have to have a clone of the repo, do a check-out, edit on your disk, the commit. This can be seen as either a feature or a bug, depending on your point of view. FWIW, the documents for Fossil itself are contained in the "www" directory, not the "docs" directory. But that is just project-specific convention.
