TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Most of our documentation is html. We have many variations on a single
product, and those variations have slightly different installation
procedures. Currently, I have to trawl through web pages to make
changes, and I rely very heavily on find and replace to make my work
faster and more accurate. But I could see how we could start
experimenting with single sourcing by getting this installation info
into a database and then pulling it into web pages.
So, how do I get the chunks into the web pages? Is this an xml task? Or
would we need one of the applications a few people have mentioned to do
it?
