The closest I ever had to 'comprehensive documentation' was a Sandcastle site based on the triple /// XML comments above each method describing the parameters and expected return types in a C# codebase for some ticket scanners. Other places had a 'covert' dokuwiki living at sandiego.companyname.local which if you knew the right email administrator to give you a login would reveal a treasure trove of knowledge written down or copy/pasted from emails by the old guard. (PC LOAD BETTER for any former fellow coworkers, you know who you are) Setting up a Dokuwiki (on a flash drive or server) is fall off a log easy these days. Same with Onenote (2010 is the prettiest IMO), or if you want to put more work in, hook up your Jenkins build process to include fetching all markdown files from source and posting them to a statically generated site such as MkDocs.
