The web pages are generated with MkDocs, because it uses Python which most colleagues already know. The alternatives used by related projects like GitBook (for MAVLink Dev Guide) are not free anymore, and VuePress (for PX4) requires NodeJS. Initially the more popular Sphinx was chosen, but didn't play nicely with Markdown files. This was deemed more important, since we already use it for a README.md file in every repository, is much more popular than reStructured Text, and has simpler syntax.
