Hey John,

Have you looked at DocBook [url]http://www.docbook.org/[/url] or [url]http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/[/url] 

I built a site using it for the content some time ago last year. I was working on navigation and layout so I didn't play much with the markup of the content but... It got me thinking about xml vs databases for content.

One could create an entire document contents, forward, chapters, etc... and parse it into an entire website of pages by passing variables that would represent the pages and chapters. I would run it on a webserver and use whatever backend is available to write my editor ASP, PHP or .NET. They all provide degrees of XML support and writing an editor isn't too difficult. Lots of looping though.

I've spend a good deal of time doing something similar with ASP and have ported some of the work to .NET and PHP.
