Publish Markdown docs straight into Notion from your terminal
Run a single command to push a folder of Markdown files into a Notion parent page, creating subpages from your directory structure.
Store your Notion integration secret and parent page name in ~/.notation/Notation.toml with no other setup.
Rather than creating a subpage, an intro.md file renders its content directly on the parent Notion page.
Set the Notion page title and icon per file using --title and --emoji flags at the top of your Markdown.

The documentation platform that keeps docs accurate for people and AI
Write with a block-based visual editor, reusable content blocks, and custom components that keep large docs consistent.
Sync a GitHub or GitLab repo and branch, review, and merge documentation changes like pull requests.
Readers can ask your docs questions directly and get contextual answers pulled from your content.
GitBook scans for content that no longer matches your product and flags it for review before wrong answers spread.
