Dear all,
 
I am currently setting up a documentation system for our product (we
build process automation systems). We maintain about 35 installations,
all installations are more or less similar but still there an numerous
differences. Fot this I am looking to a nice solution for modular
content. I know about the version package and about the solution from
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12544.html
 
However, with both I am not able to get what I want, I like the solution
by Herbert Voss because it gives menu options to do so but I can not
find a way to achieve this (remember the 20+ units) in a decent way (not
many many menu options) if things like this are desired:
 
if(unit1)
{Some text about unit 1}
else
{Some text about all units except unit 1}
 
if{NOT unit 1 OR NOT unit 3}
{Some text about unit 2 and 6}
else
{Some specific notes about unit 3 and 1}
 
etc.
 
Another issue is that the last solution only applies to paragraphs and I
would to extend it to sections (if possible) as well.
 
Final goal is to build one default main document containing a bunch of
includes per chapter and only a list of booleans to specify per
installation to generate the manuals.
 
Side question: is there a nifty trick to track document revision number
per installation in this way?
 
Thanks,
 
Maarten
 
PS I will add the setup to the wiki if I have succeeded
