I remember that you can create roles and set permissions to books, chapters, and pages.

Does it have a built in user permission control or does it need local users?

Is there a way to stop showing previews?
Is there a way to collapse text in Bookstack using markdown? -
Is anyone actually using this?

I think JB is due to some clients needing a WYSIWYG editor.

I've fully transitioned to this for the same reasons @JaredBusch did. Easier for users.

Oh ok. Ya if you need users to do something then that makes sense.

I do not know of any markdown commands to do that.When using
WYSIWYG
for your page editor, click on source code
and add this code. It also works when usingMarkdown
too.## collapsible markdown? <details><summary>CLICK ME</summary> <p> Hello World </p> </details>

-
Does that work here?
Collapse test:
<details>
<summary>CLICK ME</summary>
<p>
Hello World
</p>
</details> -
Nope.

That's basically all DokuWiki is

I use Grav. I don't have users documenting anything so it's awesome for us. It's all markdown and it's all flat file based, no databases.

Yes, lots of Wiki systems exist and work well. But if entry is a style that your users cannot handle, it will not be used. If it is not used, it is worthless.
