No monkeying with LaTeX+latex2html/Sphinx/DocBook/WhatEverCrazySystem. I can see exactly what I put in right away, and so can everyone else. Its exactly the same version control as the source, as Jed pointed out, and I have been using them for other projects and its easy. I think using one system for a manual (LaTeX) and one system for online help (Wiki) is fine. In fact, the brain trust at PETSc Central already does this since we have a FAQ and Function Manpages separate from our manual.
