My company uses Asciidoc for documentation - for almost 20 years now - and it's really good. Now with Antora you can make searchable docs, and with Asciidoctor you can create most diagrams right within the text. We target HTML/PDF/Epub and it works really well.

So you get a result that is Word-quality, but separates presentation and content, and is easy to keep under version control.






Do you also use it for company docs, policies etc, or only for software documentation? Would love to see the back of Word.

Basically for anything/everything but README.md because we use Gogs and that's just MD. OK, I admit we sometimes use Word to craft a specific page, or a print-once sign.
