This is amazing. Does this power the Stripe API reference pages? https://stripe.com/docs/api

Or is this only for https://stripe.com/docs, https://stripe.com/docs/payments, etc?

Right now we're only using it in our narrative docs (http://stripe.com/docs) but we have plans to use it in the reference docs as well.

What powers the API docs ?

It's all custom; the frontend is React and the backend is Ruby. Our plan is to introduce Markdoc as an intermediary step to improve the authoring experience.

Just to add to that, "normal" markdown (I forget which flavor exactly) is currently used for the text blocks within the Stripe API reference documentation.
