 * Are there examples of sites using WordPress to host software documentation?
    
   I’m looking at something similar to: [http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.0.0/](http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.0.0/)
 * There is a dropdown to switch versions, there are pages and sub-pages, etc…

 * you can use it for that but a Wiki might be a better idea… (there are wiki plugins
   for wordpress too)

 * I happened to see this discussion, so here are my 2 cents…
 * IIRC, there was a time I had tried to use WP like this. All you need are 1) a
   hierarchical post type like the default pages, 2) a breadcrumb or other menu 
   for easy navigation between pages and 3) possibly something (plugin or some javascript)
   to generate a TOC, if the content is long.
 * Not really sure what you expect to find in example sites..
 * Nevertheless, a wiki is probably a better tool for this job.

 * I’d also very highly recommend taking a look at [Sphinx](http://sphinx-doc.org/)(
   uses restructured text – RST). It’s a little cumbersome, but it rocks.
