    Are there any good robust CMS tools optimized for authoring and creating content that I could use and then publish over to WordPress? I know WP has some CMS capabilities, but when you’re writing a lot of content, it’s not ideal.

    There are lots of huge major news sites publishing in WordPress. What sort of additional “CMS capabilities” were you looking for? There is likely a plugin out of the 32,844 free ones that might help. 🙂

    I want to publish technical user guides. I’m currently authoring with XML structured authoring methods that makes it easier to deliver different content for different audiences. Some of these XML authoring features I use include the following:

    – adding attributes to text for conditional processing. E.g.,
    <p product=”acme”> sample text</p>
    <p product=”gizmo”> sample text</p>

    – re-using similar topics for different channels
    – enforcing consistent patterns for authoring, etc.

    I know there are plenty of plugins, but they mostly enable management of content within WP itself. It would be interesting to know what tools major news sites use in publishing to WP. Besides the NYTimes, which surely has something custom built to handle this publishing workflow, are you aware of any other newspaper CMS platforms that publish to WP?

    Ah, that’s a bit over my head to be honest, I’m not even sure what the first thing to look for would be, but I do invite you to search through https://wordpress.org/plugins/

    Quite a few actually: http://wordpress.org/showcase/tag/news/
