40 <div class="col-sm-4">
41 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/code.svg"}}</span>Free & Open Source</h4>
42 <p>BookStack is fully free and open, MIT licensed. The source is available on GitHub. There is no cost to downloading and installing your own instance of BookStack.
45 <a href="https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack">View the source here »</a>

49 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/laptop_chromebook.svg"}}</span>Easy, Simple Interface</h4>
51 Simplicity has been the top priority when building BookStack. The page editor has a simple WYSIWYG interface and all content is broken into three simple real world groups:
54 <span class="icon book" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/book.svg"}}</span>Books
55 <span class="icon chapter" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/collections_bookmark.svg"}}</span>Chapters
56 <span class="icon page" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/description.svg"}}</span>Pages
59 <div class="col-sm-4" >
60 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/search.svg"}}</span>Searchable and Connected</h4>
62 The content in BookStack is fully searchable. You are able to search at book level or across all books, chapters & pages. The ability to link directly to any paragraph allows you to keep your documentation connected.
70 <div class="col-sm-4">
71 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/build.svg"}}</span>Configurable</h4>
73 Configuration options allow you to set-up BookStack to suit your use case. You can change the name, logo and registration options. You can also change whether the whole system is publicly viewable or not.
76 <div class="col-sm-4" >
77 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/storage.svg"}}</span>Simple Requirements</h4>
79 BookStack is built using PHP, on top of the Laravel framework and it uses MySQL to store data. Performance has been kept in mind and BookStack can run happily on a $5 Digital Ocean VPS.
82 <div class="col-sm-4">
83 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/drawing.svg"}}</span>Built-In diagrams.net</h4>
85 The page editor within BookStack has <a href="https://www.diagrams.net/" target="_blank">diagrams.net</a>
86 drawing capability built-in, allowing the quick and easy creation of diagrams within your documentation.
94 <div class="col-sm-4">
95 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/language.svg"}}</span>Multi-Lingual</h4>
97 BookStack users can set their preferred language. Thanks to great community contributors, current languages built into BookStack include EN, FR, DE, ES, IT, JA, NL, PL, RU and <a href="https://crowdin.com/project/bookstack" target="_blank">many more</a>.
100 <div class="col-sm-4" >
101 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/edit.svg"}}</span>Optional Markdown Editor</h4>
103 If you prefer to write in Markdown then BookStack supports you. A markdown editor is provided and includes a live-preview as you write your documentation.
106 <div class="col-sm-4" >
107 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/lock.svg"}}</span>Integrated Authentication</h4>
109 As well as the default email/password login social providers such as GitHub, Google, Slack, AzureAD and more can be used. Okta, SAML2 and LDAP options are available for enterprise environments.
117 <div class="col-sm-4" >
118 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/directions_boat.svg"}}</span>Powerful Features</h4>
120 On top of the powerful search and linking there is also cross-book sorting, page revisions and image management. A full role and permission system allow you to lock down content and actions as required.
123 <div class="col-sm-4" >
124 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/mfa.svg"}}</span>Multi-Factor Authentication</h4>
126 MFA is built in & can be enforced at a per-role level where desired.
127 MFA options include TOTP (Google/Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, etc...) and static backup codes.
130 <div class="col-sm-4" >
131 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/dark-mode.svg"}}</span>Dark & Light Modes</h4>
133 BookStack provides its user interface in both a light theme and a dark theme, saving the eyes
134 of those that prefer to work in the shadows. This is configurable at a user level.
