I really like the way Lynne answers questions [I am unsure of the correct adjectives to use here].

Many ideas mentioned in forums like this are like a shot in the dark and simply show one option. As you know (and I repeat it for other readers), there is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI), not only with Perl.

It is my consulting experience that the product structure and therefore the documentation structure and/or constraints are different in each and every company. This is also part of the fun for me in this industry. To find the best way (best according to whatever is the most important factor) is a matter of experience and a lot of thought put into the subject.

As Lynne put it: You cannot escape the limitations of whatever DTP software you use, but using carefully designed processes and some API programming you can get results that you would not consider doing manually. And then the solution might look as if a new feature had been added to the software.
