"I’m the Webmaster for an HMO.

"Our legal department produces lengthy contracts containing multiple sections, complex tables, and elaborate indentation. It used to take me days to convert just one of these documents into a set of small, well-formatted web pages—all linked to a Table of Contents. Then I’d have to do it all over again when a contract was revised.

"It was the same nightmare with our policies and procedures.

"But now I don’t mind when they give me a stack of new contracts, or they change a 300-page procedure manual. Why should I? I don’t have to lift a finger.

"People who write contracts and manuals store them in a certain directory on our LAN. I have a batch file that runs the Command-Line version of Web Publisher™ Professional. It converts new documents to HTML—breaks them into sections—and links those sections to a Table of Contents—automatically! It places navigation buttons at the top of each web page and inserts legal boilerplate at the end of each page. I don’t have to edit the raw documents or the resulting HTML. The web pages look great, and the links are all valid.

"We have 20,000 pages of these documents on our Intranet now—all of them up-to-date. And when they ask me to publish the next stack of documents, I will still be smiling."
