According to a friend of mine that has used InDesign for some personal
projects, InDesign can export and import XML. That could mean that you
only have to create a template and then insert the documentation by
automatic search and replace. (I use the same technique to build simple
websites.)
Apparently InDesign even has scripting facilities, she has not used them
herself. She is not a programmer, but a child of the WYSIWYG point and
click generation. All in all it sounds to me as something that matches
your interests and abilities. Perhaps she can even help you a bit. She
has met people that use complex programs to do simple tasks before (i.e.
we have worked together for some time).

necessary for her work there will be another hole in the firewall.
