You could use something like GitHub markdown/GitHub pages. You could use something like Markdown and a custom script like I do for my website (source code in my GitHub). There are solutions like Sphinx (as used by Python) or Jekyll for building a static docs site. You could also use Hugo static site generator etc. etc. - there are many tools out there. These are simple solutions but it ranges up to heavy weight tools like DITA/DocBook (not that I am recommending those in this case).
Also take a look at readthedocs.org.
