Just finished hooking up Sandcastle to our CI build because I'm a little tired of being asked for documentation that nobody uses.
If you're in the .NET world, Sandcastle has been around for ages. It's what MS uses/used for their MSDN documentation generation. Someone released the source to the public ages ago and I've been using it on and off since. It's been a good 5 years since I touched it last so I grabbed the latest last week. Really has come a long ways. Integrates into visual studio as a project type now. Just add a new "help" project to your solution, add the .*proj files as documentation sources and poof--instant docs...provided you've remarked your code everywhere.
Using Team Build (TFS) for building, I created a helper script that publishes the generated help after a successful build to a website and includes the url in the successful build notifications.
Interesting - I last looked at this about a year ago. Similarly, we are sometimes asked by higher-ups for standalone documentation no dev would use. At the time it was abandoned, hadn't been touched since 2012 or so.
Does it still have crazy build times? A fairly complex project that took about 10 minutes for our ancient build server to build would take in the order of an hour to build the docs, so it's been disabled since I set it up.
