What are the tools for dynamic documentation generation?

Question

Documentation

Please let me know if you have come across something similar.
The task is this: there is a large document that describes various functionality (for example: creating users, changing user rights, deleting users, creating a role, assigning a role to a user).
The document is divided into parts, for each of which it is indicated what functionality it belongs to (it can apply to several at once).
If it is necessary to transfer the documentation to the client, we choose what needs to be uploaded (for example, only creating and deleting users), and depending on the selected functionality, only the necessary sections of the document are formed.
We get the result in doc or pdf.

Good afternoon!
That task which you described, under force docbook. There is a special feature called Docbook profiling (both single pass and two pass) (read more here: www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Profiling.html ).
However, implementing docbook is an extraordinary task that requires some effort and is not profitable for _small_ projects. If you have a project that involves the presence of SEVERAL slices (for example, different audiences / customers / OS) and several output formats at the same time, then docbook is unambiguous. And all this comes from one source, incl. (in especially difficult cases) using Apache Cocoon in automatic mode via http get).
If you are interested in details, ask - I will try to answer.
