I believe that you want to use (structured) FrameMaker, perhaps integrated with RoboHelp if you need a variety of output types. Both products are part of Adobe's Tech Comm Suite product (and you actually need the suite for FM-to-RH integration).

There is a ton of material about how to use FrameMaker. To help you, here's the link for a long list of previously recorded online seminars for FrameMaker (Adobe login required).

Specific concepts that you're interested in are:

-structured FrameMaker (as opposed to unstructured)

-DITA strategies

-ExtendScript

-XSLT and XPath

-Localization strategies (if you're thinking ahead)

There's a lot there, but that's what you want if you're thinking long term. Plus, you'll learn transferable skills that will serve you well in future.
