Agree with gaselli, XML would dramatically reduce manual's maintenance efforts. But the question is how this could be implemented? Does anyone know about existing XML templates for user manual documents? With the authors permission I would try to develop the manual's maintenance guide which describe...

Would you share it, please?

If need, I...
