My conclusion was that this is only really feasible (for me at least) with a folding editor like the gadget Inmos made for OCCAM and the likes. Basically something that would allow me to hide all the SGML/HTML and make the code work, then let me expand it so I could update the documentation. Ohh well. troff is not that bad either...
