Hi everyone,
At our department we are currently looking into software or platforms to store our documentation. Most of the documentation are 1 to 10 pages long manuals with text and images. Currently everything is stored in docs or pdf's in folders. It's a mess.
We would like to store them in a way much like the Windows help does:

I found this easy to use tool called Helpndoc, that generates .chm using the Windows chm compiler or a html website. The problem with this is, that every time you want to update your documentation, you need to export and compile an entire new .chm. Also it would be wonderful if one could update and create documentation on their own. This is very counter productive.
in a nutshell our requirements are:
- Simple interface, preferably with a tree system much like Windows Help
- Search option
- All users can edit the files
- Easy wysiwyg user interface with options to paste images and adjust text font, size, color etc.
I have been looking into Mediawiki, but preferably we don't want to host a webserver.
Does anyone have an idea of what we could use?
Thanks in advance!
"All users can edit the files" seems to contradict your reluctance to host a server of some sort. In any case, I'm convinced it'd be easier in the long run to have a single authoritative base for documentation, rather than a bunch of loose files that you'd have to do the bookkeeping separately for.
Everything can be stored on an existing network share. I forgot to mention that. Everyone is a super user and must be able to add or edit documentations.
