DocMaker is developed by David Sampson from MathWorks on GitHub.
DocMaker uses the GitHub Markdown API or the GitLab Markdown API for converting Markdown to HTML, and the GitHub Markdown CSS by Sindre Sorhus for HTML styling.
The author thanks Ken Deeley from MathWorks for his support during the development of DocMaker.
The release notes detail new features, bug fixes, and compatibility considerations for each version.
DocMaker replaces a previous MathWorks internal documentation tool, DocTools, by Ben Tordoff. DocMaker seeks to improve on DocTools by supporting authoring in Markdown.
DocMaker was developed to build documentation for GUI Layout Toolbox, Package Jockey, and DocMaker itself! The features of DocMaker reflect the needs of these projects.
