It would be a wide variety of types of documents such as, 'User's Manual' of products, 'Work Manual' of work site, 'Template of Agreement', or 'Company Regulations'. And it would be a big affliction to continue maintenance upon them. Moreover, it would be extremely difficult to control if the documents were required 'to be translated into other languages' at time of revision.

The excellence of this Manual Revision Management (Version management system of Manual document) is, although it is unspectacular, managing the locations of revision by 'chapter + section' in Numeric type. (e.g. '211' as chapter 2, section 1-1)
This allows you, for example, to range search by '200 -300' when you want to search for the revision history of 'entire chapter 2'. Also you can search for only 'Section 2 of Chapter 2' by '220-230'. Needless to say, this trick will not work well if the structure of 'Chapters + Sections' of the document is often altered. That means it is important to design the 'Table of Contents' meticulously.
