I'm on a quest to find a way of creating and maintaining a document in a
format which can be manipulated and used in different ways. While I could
write such a system myself, it would be easier (and preferred by the
higher-ups) if we could use something standards-based.
Features desired include:
*Strong Hierarchical document structure (headings, sub-headings, etc...)
*Conversion to printable format
*Versatile HTML/Web browsable format
*Easy to edit (preferrably with a Web interface; preferrably not custom
client software - although would be acceptable if cross-platform) for
non-technical users
I'm just perusing the "DocBook" site currently (since XML is the obvious
solution), although my eyes tend to glaze over when I hit a DTD. There
doesn't seem to be (m)any mature easy to use editors for it either.
Any suggestions/ideas? Or should I just give in & write my own?
