It sounds like you want text, HTML, or some other output format -- except with "include" directives and some preprocessing. Depending on your needs, dev-python/sphinx might work out-of-the-box. I've used it to create docs for Python projects, and you can see an example of the HTML/LaTeX output, constructed from the same source: HTML : http://michael.orlitzky.com/code/dunshire/doc/ LaTeX : http://michael.orlitzky.com/code/dunshire/doc/dunshire.pdf If Sphinx isn't right for you, try a static website generator: https://www.staticgen.com/ What you wind up with is sort of like a Makefile for your document. And since HTML is only one potential output format, you can use it for things other than websites.
