Any experience with documentation?

Hi,
struggling with a few relaunches or improvements of my txp-sites questions arise:
What did I do here and in which way it has been implemented differently there?
What forms do I need to get the result as used on another site?
And so on.

Any ideas or experiences with documenting here?
My idea is something like a map or chart, showing all templates and forms and their relation.
And really good would be something like a “live”-chart – reflecting the actual code in each form and showing changes immediately.
(Of course I could have noted all this manually and precisely – but, I didn’t, or not as precisely as I should. And it could be possibly simplified or eased to document.)

Is there any utility which could do something like this?
Or a plugin (or plugin idea) which could do this?

thanks for any hint or idea.

Michael

Hmmm… an idea for getting a map’s scaffold: Switch to debug mode, read the tag trace. It’s very basic, I know.
