That's a great feature! I wonder if you could allow it to merge existing
manuals as well.

For example this situation comes up a lot for me. I need to deliver a
podcasting course using materials from Archive.org, Wordpress and Audacity
manuals.

Currently I have these all as OO documents that I managed to get from
Douglas's version of FM which had a bit more CPU. I work out how long the
course is, what level of detail the students will go into and delete and
combine the OO documents as necessary and add what ever details are relevant
at the beginning and end.

But it would be great to be able to work with the current versions of the
documentation and pull them into one manual. I guess it's not really a
priority tho.
