I'm the "nice person" at Cherryleaf that wrote the article ;-) (hi Sean
and thank you for the compliment).
AuthorIT are the only people I know much about who are offering a packaged
solution that falls into what I would mean by database driven single
sourcing (there are probably others that I haven't come across). What I
mean by this is simply that the document is stored in a database and
doesn't use markup as the primary means of flagging chunks of content (cf.
Webworks Publisher).
However to do the more complex things that Karen is looking at I would
suggest a custom solution. I would also second everything Mark Baker has
said in this thread.
