I always knew it would end like this.

My company writes automation software for the construction industry. The way we provide our customers with a digital technical manual is rather silly at the moment. There's an MS Word document on a shared network drive that one person can edit at a time, and then Save As Web Page. It "works" in the sense that it's WYSIWYG, and contains working links, but this approach has many downsides.

What I'm looking for is
  • a wiki that can be hosted internally at work
  • users can edit/add pages, write text, include photos/screenshots
  • WYSIWYG would be nice but is not essential, our staff can be trained to use markdown or similar
  • retain history of who edited which pages
  • be able to export the entire wiki to the filesystem, in such a way that no internet connection is needed to view it, and it's not full of "edit" or "login" links, or other things that are part of the wiki web application

The idea is to keep this wiki up to date as we write our software, and when we release a new version, we also include a help file by way of an exported wiki.

I've clicked around at http://www.wikimatrix.org and nothing has jumped out at me that satisfies all my constraints. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, or maybe a wiki isn't what I want at all.

Suggestions?
