We too found raw HTML to be difficult to maintain.  Since we aren't (yet)
a SGML shop we are temporarily using the C preprocessor (cpp) since it
was handy and a "no-brainer" to use.  So our preprocessed sources include
C style comments and macros that expand with argument substitution.
That is how we impose a consistent style to our documents at this time.
