From a set of PDF files to a technical documentation portal with 2,500 articles

▤ Summary

The article describes a transition from scattered PDF files to a technical documentation portal with more than 2,500 articles. It explains how the team moved content from Help&Manual XML into Markdown and MkDocs using XSLT, C# helpers, and custom conversion logic. The workflow now runs through GitLab CI, Docker, GitLab Container Registry, and Watchtower, which removes manual deployment steps. The new setup improves searchability, link handling, image processing, and overall maintainability for the documentation site.
