Answers to your questions: 1. Yes, Sphinx is open source software. It's source code is available on Github here: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx 2. No, Sphinx does not create wiki output. It creates static HTML output, that can be easily published to a website. 3. No, once Sphinx creates the HTML output, it doesn't give you the ability to create access control lists with privileges.
Sphinx and Wikis are two different, opposing ways to manage content on a website. WIth a wiki someone can log in and edit the page in their web browser. With Sphinx, you edit the source text files of the web site using a text editor, then run a Sphinx command to re-build the HTML files, then you copy those files to your website. You can do collaborative editing of the files in the same way you would edit code, using source control tools such as git or mercurial, etc. I hope this helps - David H On Friday, December 18, 2015 at 5:27:59 AM UTC-5, Renato Pontefice wrote: > > Hi, > I need to find a solution, for the documentation on my company. > We develop and distribuite a java sw > is a big project.
