Learn how docToolchain transforms software documentation into code through the docs-as-code methodology, supported by the arc42 template. This open-source initiative invites contributions and support from both individuals and companies. It provides regular updates and stable version releases, fostering a transparent and collaborative community. Prominent organizations, including TomTom and DB Systel, utilize docToolchain for streamlined documentation.

The arc42 template, created by Dr. Gernot Starke and Dr. Peter Hruschka, is a free and open-source tool for effective software architecture documentation. It enables generation of various formats like docx and markdown via the arc42-generator and supports comprehensive document structure and maintenance. The template in version 8.2 includes improved diagram editing with platform-neutral formats. Maintained in English and German, with volunteer translations available.
