I was only formatting/organizing data, I was not planning on changing data. I
also saw several references that were out of date. Also, with the new standard
library, probably some new things should be addressed in the manual.
Is there someone who would want to help in this area?

Oh, also, if your not up to altering/editing content, there is other work to do
in the manuals. Currently, in the source .htx files for the manuals, there are
many places that include styled tags. I would love to get rid of all styled tags
and use a stylesheet for all styling. Font tags setting size and color are all
through the system, others setting face type, etc... These should all be changed
into div's or span's with an appropriate class descriptor.

If you use style sheet will be a lot more complicated to create the .doc files.

The .doc files actually strip all HTML tags, they are not dependent upon the
HTML styling. So, it should have no effect on the output of the .doc files.
