What makes DocsForge different

Zero Dependencies
Everything is bundled. pip install docsforge gets you the engine, Material theme, all plugins, all extensions, fonts, icons, math rendering, and a service worker.
Zero Config
Start with just site_name:. All 8 core plugins and 36 Markdown extensions load automatically; social cards are opt-in. Customize only when you need to.
Math Works
Write $$...$$ and it renders. KaTeX is vendored — no CDN calls for readers, no extra_javascript, no setup.
Syntax Highlighted
Code blocks render with Pygments colors at build time. No client-side JavaScript needed.
Instant Search
Full-text search built in, powered by a client-side Marz index.
Dark Mode
Light/dark toggle in the header. Auto-detects system preference.
TikZ Diagrams
Write TikZ diagrams as .tex files. Auto-compiled to SVG at build time (requires a LaTeX toolchain).
Blogging
Built-in blog with authors, tags, archives, pagination, and RSS feeds.
Offline Support
Service worker caches all assets. Works without an internet connection.

pip install docsforge
docsforge          # create a new project interactively
cd my-docs
docsforge serve

That's it. Your documentation site is now running at localhost:8000.
