Use plain text. It's good enough for this purpose. If you need a more
complex one, use texinfo. Texinfo is the standard documentation tool
for GNU, and many GNU programmers are used to it.
Regardless of whatever tool you use, the most important thing in
documentation is "not to make it out of dated". This is really
difficult. Indeed, I gave up keeping information on internals of GRUB
Legacy in the manual. Maintaining good documentation costs the same as
maintaining good code. So, I'd recommend that you keep your
documentation as simple as you can.
