The Document Examiner is a very good application.

I don't like HTML that much. It doesn't know much about
structuring text. Most of the time it is not very
dynamic. If it would come out of a document database
it would be much better. Typical HTML documentations
are static.

I would prefer something with a flexible web server. Like
InfoBook based on CL-HTTP. Actually the Document Examiner
data should be rich enough to generate a perfect
HTML-based documentation.

I agree completely. But who has the time? And the knowledge?
