Most of the Wiki's provide some rather good printouts. Some of them (the wikis) even provide a pdf-transfiguration. > Personally I would like to > keep the document in plain text or common wordprocessor format for > simplicity. The real general text-format with all possible ways of pre-write-output-transformation would be to use SGML. The next best would be to have DocBook or at least on the word-formatting side LaTeX itself. If someone is a little bit familiar with LaTeX or HTML-formatting, all Wiki-input basics will be plain easy. On the other hand, if the information is stored in the wiki it is not really simple to get it out of there in another format. If that way is desired or necessary, nothing would be as flexible as SGML with different output-filters for LaTeX, PDF, DOC-formats, plain-text, etc. But with a wiki it's very simple and easy to run iterativly through the edit-store-correct-store cycle. With distinguished documents which have to be passed around or are stored in a (distributed) version control system it will be a pain. So it depends on the real needs of this documentation and last not least the time the authors will spend for this work.
