I do such anything all the time, in a simple way, on all of the evoque- 
based web sites I manage. That templating supports pulling in any  
pieces of content form source files in any format. Up to the doc  
writer to then declare which pieces should appear where and how,  
whether raw or evaluated, formatting etc. Just look over the multiple  
examples (and outputs) taken directly from unit test
code, benchmarks etc, all over the documentation site for Evoque  
Templating at http://evoque.gizmojo.org/

Note that the docs there refer to the imminently upcoming 0.4 release  
-- but synchronization is managed simply by having a checkout of the  
desired revision of the target project checked out for use by the  
docs. I usually just keep both doc and source at head versions, as I  
find this is the simplest. Integrating additional more ambitious  
"process management" requirements such as code reviews could be  
interesting to consider.
