Nuts.

Having and sticking to an established structure lets you focus away from
fondling fonts and twiddling templates. Having and sticking to an
established structure lets you focus on CONTENT.

This is usually caused by an over-emphasis on style and structure.
Writers
spend all their energy and time building monuments of style and
structure and
as such pay minimal attention to the content. The result - bad docs.
