FWIW, Zope has a product called STXDocument.  Content is stored in 
structured text (basically, one of the wiki-text variants) and you 
can render it as HTML or DocBook.

You can edit the page content via the web, HTTP PUT, FTP, or XML-RPC.

If the page http://host/foo contains your structured text, then 
http://host/foo/outputHTML (or http://host/foo) will render the 
content as html and http://host/foo/outputDocBook will render 
DocBook.

The Zope Book was written in structured text and then published.  
However, it required some custom scripts to handle images and other 
publisher-specific markup.

You can also publish a snapshot as an on-line BackTalk version.  
BackTalk is another Zope Product that allows anyone to add a comment 
to each paragraph.  If you click on the ZopeBook link below, you will 
see what this looks like.

These tools were built for this kind of project.  But Zope is a fairly 
large dependency.  :)
