TeamHub

Markdown for documentation

Markdown, a popular markup language, is widely used for technical documentation. Millions of developers worldwide use Markdown for documentation management on GitHub, blogs, websites and alike.

The simplicity of Markdown stands out among other document formats. It takes an hour to learn how to edit text files with Markdown syntax, in contrast to the much steeper learning curve for LaTeX, for example. Unlike HTML/CSS, no tag editing is necessary to format the output.

RStudio + RMarkdown + Hugo

The RStudio Inc. company has taken Markdown format and Hugo a few steps further to create an effective documentation publishing platform. RMarkdown is a dialect of Markdown that combines executable code and narrative text into high quality reports, books, shiny applications, presentations, dashboards and many more. The beautiful simplicity is that the RStudio IDE is used both for creating the content and the Hugo-powered website where the content is published.

This entire website was built with Hugo + RMarkdown + RStudio. As well as these DS/ML textbooks.

Keep knowledge growing – learning never stops

DS/ML and other IT teams need a single place to share their ongoing work – code, technical documentation, tutorials, project memos and more – something that will grow into a corporate learning environment where exchange of knowledge is easy and simple. TeamHub ensures code versioning integrity, promotes code re-use, makes it easy to share code & documentation, thus streamlining company-wide DS/ML workflows.

When using R or Python, a data scientist simply uploads a Markdown file with executable code and comments with a button click. Publishing documents as HTML or PDF requires no special editing, and it takes seconds to make them available to every team member.

Hugo is fast and simple

Hugo is written in Go language, carries no dependencies into a working environment, builds hundred-page websites in seconds and requires no or little HTML/CSS editing.

Hugo takes a source directory of files and uses these as input to create a complete website, without worrying about setting up complicated runtimes, dependencies and databases. Any team member can administer a Hugo-powered website.

Unlimited number of websites

Hugo is open-source and free. It can be used any number of times to build a corporate blog, a documentation repository, a single landing page or a website with thousands of pages.
