OK.
Yes, sadly at the moment it is a parallel maintenance task. I hacked
together a few tools to get from scintilla.iface to where I am now but there
have been substantial manual edits in between stages because of the
crudeness of my quick tools.

I guess ideally the base document + variant generation would be a Lua script
itself. Since you think where I'm going is of some use (and I guess the rate
of change of ScintillaDoc is quite low these days,) I'll carry on as
outlined and _possibly_ have a bash at the generated docs once that's
complete. I'd probably need to take some advice on better ways to handle the
variant generation as I'm well out of your league for clearly thought out
programming solutions.
