I am working on project website which uses headless cms with graphql to implement the cypress tests. The website contents like articles/blogs changes based what is being updated in CMS. Anyone has experience here where can i look for similar project automation ?
As per your requirement Gatsby is the best choice nowadays, you can start with Gatsby Starter for Blogs.

Support for an RSS feed
Google Analytics support
Automatic optimization of images in Markdown posts
Support for code syntax highlighting
Includes plugins for easy, beautiful typography
Includes React Helmet to allow editing site meta tags
Includes plugins for offline support out of the box

I have an umbraco based CMS site and I've been advised to use AMP for fast mobile performance. I have read the demo page from this gitHub link.
But I am not understanding how to set it in an already developed site. Do I need to change all tags according to AMP?
better not to mess with existing instead you build new AMP version of your site
(After doing a quick Google)
I don't think there's a an AMP-plugin for Umbraco yet, but that will probably be the way to go. I've been using the AMP-plugin for WordPress for a little while now and it made all posts on my site AMP-compatible without me having to do anything :)
Perhaps check with the Umbraco community whether there's an ETA on such a plugin for their platform?
You can have seperate AMP pages and google will handle the rest. I think that is the safest way to approach it, without having a plugin like they have for wordpress.
You can still enable the users to use the CMS functionality by creating custom data types for e.g. amp-img instead of img. The content editors will just have to be briefed on the basics of AMP.

I wrote a Javascript (jQuery) plugin. Now I want to write a documentation site for it. Is there a good tool to create such a site out of some offline file formats or works like a CMS?
I know this answer has been asked before, but the last answers are from 2011. Is there anything new that does an awesome job in writing documentation?
There are a few new tools for generating websites or blogs from code/directory.
Bootstrap v3 just switched to jekyll for documentation. jekyll knows how to process Markdown or Liquid (markdown flavours)
Grunt.js is also used for all sorts of automated task. One of these being documentation generation. Search their plugin list for doc
assemble.io is another tool for generating documentation pages
I'll extend if I bump into others. I am not sure if this is exactly what you need, but they are general purpose so I am sure a jQuery plugin can fit in.
I am building my application in Codeigniter. It has a module where users create documents, which can be edited at a later time. How do I implement a 'history' of revisions, perhaps like a wiki ? Is it possible to embed a php wiki in a web app (twiki/dokuwiki)?
Consider embeding a wiki into your application so that you don't have to create your own wiki-like functionality from scratch. I know dooWikis enables you to do this without displaying any third-party branding or advertising on your site while still giving you control over who gets to make changes to the content.
I know many Ruby users are using Jekyll but I wonder what the benefits that will bring over RefineryCMS?
Could someone highlights the differences and pros/cons for each.
I'm one of the core developers on Refinery CMS.
The architecture of each project is vastly different. Here's a few things Refinery CMS has:
Web based interface (just go to /refinery to login and edit content)
Visual content editing (but also supports editing in plain HTML)
Stores it's content in a database (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL - your choice)
Suitable for non technical people to edit
Supports Rails 3
Supports localisation in 11 languages (and you can add your own)
Support and docs: IRC, Google Group, Tutorials, API docs, Github repository
I can't be authoritative about Jekyll (maybe mojombo can answer) but it looks like:
Static content editing
Stores it's content in files
Developer focused, not suitable for an end user to edit
Markup based editing
Will load slightly faster as the pages are static
I hope that helps weigh it up. It all comes down to your project requirements.
Well, jekyll is 100% static. All files are generated into static HTML. Jekyll is amazing for small sites that don't really need dynamic content. With jekyll you write the content in your own text editor.
I haven't tested RefineryCMS, but it is more like what you would think of as a content management system with data stored in a database managed through a web interface. If the site is going to be managed by non-tech people, I'll say jekyll is a no-go and that refinery is a better choice.
RefineryCMS is fully Rails 3.0 compatible and they offer great support over IRC. Furthermore RefineryCMS is a fully featured CMS with a localizable interface while Jekyl is not. It all depends on your projects needs.
The best thing to do would be to install them both and play. You will soon see they both serve two completely different purposes. Refinery is a CMS and Jekyll is a static site generator . Jekyll is not built for content management.
Anyone know of a wiki or wiki plugin that generates a PDF file or CHM file that spans the entire wiki?
I would like to have control of the table of contents.
I would like the internal and external links to work.
Ideally allow for tweaking the output template, but that is not a deal-breaker.
I want to generate content using WIKI syntax and mindset (lots of cross-links etc), but ship the content in PDF, CHM or an embedded application form. Something friendlier than installing the wiki software on the enduser machine...
XWiki does this out of the box.
The MediaWiki PDF Export extension allows you to select a group of PDF pages. I've not installed it yet, so unsure if it's easy to use that feature to select all the pages.
Confluence lets you choose pages when you export to PDF a space
But you can't customise a lot the PDF
You can customise it slightly through a theme (based on velocity)
Sphinx (https://www.sphinx-doc.org) is a fairly nice tool for generating HTML (or CHM) and PDF documentation, with wiki-like syntax. It is not a wiki; you can't edit through the web and generating HTML requires a build process. Still, it is pretty nice, with cross-references, fairly simple markup, and (in the HTML output) a search engine implemented in JavaScript with no server-side dependencies beyond static file hosting. Sphinx was developed for the new version of the Python documentation and is pretty themable; for example, the GeoServer project (which I work on, excuse the shameless plug) is using Sphinx with a custom theme for the new version of their user and developer manuals.
JIRA (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/default.jsp) is your geeky wet dream in terms of control; it exports to PDF (amongst other) and you can have complete control of pages, TOC and other aspects, although expect some complexity to set it up.
Microsoft has an HtmlHelp Authoring tool that can create chm files from html files.
If you need the help files both on the web and within deployed applications, generating the help from the same files used on the web could be a great solution. If the help site was created using asp.net (ie database driven) it might be worth using basic styles and creating a tool to generate html files by reading in the served out pages?
Have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524239(VS.85).aspx
I guess one could also additionally then create a PDF from the Html pages?
