way too many documents for this methodology...
The larger issue though is the framework to convert this to. I am
looking at how samba does things and they use 'docbook' which apparently
is all XML which is converted by script into html and into pdf formats.
This seems like a bunch of extra work and editing XML is crude work.
Any other ideas?
