webapp online help system using OO and XSLT?

Sorry if I am posting this to the wrong list. Please let me
know if I am.

What I would like to do is write an ooWriter document and
"tag" sections
of it with unique codes that would be included in an HTML
export and then
referenced from a web app to produce a kind of easy to
manage context
sensitive help system.

It seems like this would be something that has already been
done, but I
did quite a bit of searching and haven't found anything.

I figure I could modify the XSLT export to HTML examples to
include these
codes as <a name="FOOBAR"> tags. I could
then write a little indexing
script that would map which HTML documentation file contains
which code.
>From there it's simple to do a lookup from the webapp,
load the right help
page and jump down to the code.

What should I use to tag sections? I thought about using the
comment
feature or maybe a custom style is the right answer?

If I were to use OO comments in the Writer doc for my tags
how do I
reference them from the XSLT?

I've found this XSLT info: http://books.evc-ci
t.info/apb.php
Are there any other documents I should be looking at?

Any pointers in the roughly right direction would be greatly
appreciated,

Thanks,

-- Yermo
