Ha, I had the same thought a while back along a slightly different vector (legal-adjacent technical writing). I ended up writing a blog post of my wishlist of features Word has that static site generators like Hugo don't appear to, yet. [1]
I think there's a lot of money to be made in this arena, especially given that LLMs are much easier to integrate with plain text files than with Word documents.

- WorldMaker 1y agoMuch (but not all) of what you are looking for exists in the reStructuredText [1] space. Sphinx [2] is an SSG focused on technical writing about software that you may find worth exploring. Also, the scientific text community has been pushing MyST [3] which is an attempt to take some of the best ideas of reStructuredText and reapply them to Markdown-style syntax as a baseline. The MyST tools are a lot more recent and don't have the maturity just yet of Sphinx (including the larger ecosystem such as SaaS hosts like readthedocs).
