I've done something similarly insane for a documentation
project: Here, the main document was made in LaTeX, and
there were CSV (comma seperated values) files with numerical
data and text. Those were then processed by awk scripts
that did the "calculation part"; their result were LaTeX
includes that were then sourced by \input. Another file
was made with definitions of macros that hold intermediate
or result values for use inside the text. Additionally,
output was given in gnuplot form and then processed by
that utility, the result was eps or png graphics also for
inclusion in the document. The whole play was controlled
by a quite simple Makefile that caused a "make" call to
process the files that had changed. Just imagine: Change
a value in a table, run "make", and have all the results
(tables, figures, mentionings in text) change automatically.
The result was a PDF file for sending and for printing.
Of course, it is totally insane to do so. :-)
