Say I have to have terms of use on site, a place the text as marked up html.

Where it is better to prepare this document initially if it is going to placed to the web?

Considering that such documents are prepared and changed by lawyers, it is not very applicable for them to use text editor. And it is not very efficient to manually process content to prepare it for the web as it is changed.

For now my solution is:

Prepare document text in google docs keeping some simple structure (title, ordered lit of features, simple paragraphs), save as html (it will contain some unnecessary markup) and then use custom conversion tool (some script) to convert saved html from google docs to simple html and inject new version to the site.

What is common practiceses for this problem? What is the workflow of preparing and publishing such documents.
