IMHO for the ultimate in documentation speed, assuming only one person is doing the documentation, is VimOutliner (http://www.vimoutliner.org). VimOutliner uses the Vim engine, so it has Vim's keystroke efficiency. It's an outline processor whose features include promote/demote, expand/collapse, hoisting, body text, interoutline links, and executable lines. VimOutliner stores its data as simple tab indended outlines, so it's incredibly parsable, especially using the Node.pm perl module (http://www.troubleshooters.com/projects/Node/index.htm). I use outlines to store data for menus, bookmark pages, the Troubleshooters.Com Linux Library main page (http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/index.htm). I also use VimOutliner to create book tables of contents, and then parse them to create a LyX skelleton for the book.
