Docview is an extensible documentation viewer which can show documentation in a variety of formats. It is extensible with extensions, so it's possible to view almost any type of documentation in a single application.

Why use Docview

As Docview is extensible, it isn't limited to only a few number of formats like most documentation viewer. With the help of extensions, it can show almost any type of documentation. So it isn't required to wait for new releases to add support for a particular format, anyone can write an extension adding support for that format. So you don't need switch from one documentation viewer to another (e.g Terminal for man and info pages, Devhelp for GNOME documentations), Docview is an all-in-one solution. For a comparison of Docview with other documentation viewers, see Comparison with other documentation viewers.
