Need help with design document software.hunting!

I've got a large ammount of information, which became too unweildy to search and sort in a single word document (as well as taking a while to open) so I moved it all over to a small web-site, wiki-esqe but simple enough to sort all the pages in a branching tree view on the left for easy catagorization. As the data flowed in I found I spent too much time trying to format the stuff in HTML to avoid the useless ammounts of code generated by WYSIWYG editors and their CSS tags.



Now I have a bunch of info, with tables and alot of custom artwork and concept art I've done I need to port to something that's less technical but just as robust for page layout. I guess I ultimatly need something that lets me keep the individual pages in RTF or DOC's so I can use advanced page layout, tables, and such to keep the pages looking pretty as well as readable.



I've done some extensive searching online and found some TreeNote and zNote programs which offer the ability to create collapsable trees of nodes and built in Rich Text editors to allow you to organize info, but the software felt very home-brew and the formatting was rather primitive (can't even wrap text around images).



Does anyone know of any software, or some sort of small wiki package that is quick to launch, allows for easy WYSIWYG sort of formatting and allows me to keep the info/pages organized in tree view on the left?

I don't know what software you guys use for your personal design documents, but mine has gone beyond the scope of easy handling in a single word DOC but I need the cross-reference ability to refer to other pages so I can't cut it up into completely isolated documents.

You can use a little more advanced HTML, where all you do to add something is create the image and text files.  Then update the database with the name and maybe some other parameters you specify.  Then the HTML is already written to generate another page from the information.  All you would have to do to update is replace the image and text files.
