They have it. Much less comprehensive. English only.
https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#warning

Maybe bits of the FAQ.

If you put it upstream... When you link the outside targets you'll lose
the feature "<- previous chapter" and "next chapter ->".

come back. Yes, it's not Representative, maybe you know different people.

I don't think that's possible. They don't have a multilingual website
and I doubt you are going to write patches and even if you were, it's
questionable if they get accepted.

With all due respect, they are quite inflexible. They still have no
forum, which is frequently requested and an important user support tool.
Well... Why? Because of perfectionism?

What if you don't fully agree with their documentation, or if you want
to use a different style, etc...
