You can upload your HTML site into Site.com and allow people to access it
that way. I did that for a long time, even though I hated the process.
Sometimes the authentication benefits are worth the site.com hosting hassle.
Re Salesforce's docs, I believe they built some custom tooling to integrate
their HTML outputs into Salesforce. The last time I checked, the sidebar
could have used some improving.
Knowledge seems totally unusable as a solution, and even though some prod
mgrs seem to want to marry support with docs using Salesforce tools, I
never found a solution for doing that.
