We have a tool that we cannot replace that does not support single sourcing. As a result, with instructions that involve the same node, we either repeat the same dozen steps over and over, or refer the user to say _chapter 2 sectionXY23_ to perform steps 1-17 and then carry out step 2 and 3 from here. The first alternative is a lot more user friendly but heavy on maintenance. The second solution is really awkward but can be maintained. Which one is more future-proof? (This tool is here to stay so there is no replacement option.)
