It would be.  Editing simple text files is less cumbersome for a
technical writer than it is to do everything on the database/front-end.

(And I work as a professional technical writer in case someone cared.)

If you move to DocBook/XML and use XSL(T) you can use the htmlhelp.xsl
stylesheet and go directly to CHM from XML files.

Yes that makes sense...

I'll come up with something to make editing easier. Probably the whole stuff
would be in the editor at the same time..

Thanks for the feedback.
