    Most CMSs base their structure around pages. tomehost is structured around sections, which is much better suited to user guides and complex technical documentation. You can nest headings 7+ levels deep, accommodating even the most extensive technical manuals. Just add headings where you want them, and tomehost takes care of numbering. If you move a section, everything automatically renumbers. Each heading has a unique URL that does not change if you edit the heading, move it, or add sections in front of it. The visible number might change, but the URL won't. The editor interface has menu triggers next to each header, at section breaks at the end of each section and on-right clicking headings in the treeview menu. Headings, text, warnings, notices, code (with syntax-highlighting), images (with optional legend), file download blocks and embedded videos.
