I have another tip:
I already wrote about this lat year and probably went fairly unnoticed, 
but now, speaking of a new manual, I would like to put again to your 
attention, my friends, a useful feature I learned using moodle, the 
online teaching platform.
As an editor, moodle lets you activate a (perhaps) useful feature, on 
selected pages or sections, that could help users to get "reference 
topics" tasks reading "manual topics", just if they need.

I think it's called "Glossary auto-linking filter" 
(http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Glossary_auto-linking_filter)

This image is a screenshot of this feature in action, on my test course, 
at the time:

btw, it's still working online, just wait for the full page load:
http://learn.moodle.net/course/view.php?id=646

the "Rendering" link is automatically created, whwn this option is 
enabled, because before I created a glossary definition about that word. 
you can try to click it and you will get a small window over there, with 
the definition explained (and it's recursive!)

Could something like that help to get "reference"? Could a moodle 
platform be useful also for something like a manual?
my 2c
(BC cents :-D )
