I'd suggest using docbook xml format (http://docbook.sourceforge.net/)
as a source of such documentation, and then apply Norman Walsh xslt stylesheets
(http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets)
to convert it to either xsl-fo, html, chunked html, windows help, or whatever.

Docbook is very convenient and was designed to write documentation of
any kind, especially technical.
And there're some xml editors featuring wysiwyg mode for docbook.
(xmlMind, Oxygen as an instance)
