There's a wide range of commercial and some open source products that claim to solve the publishing problem.
 

Vignette StoryServer

A very high priced box that generates cryptic URL's, StoryServer's process model is one plagued with problems. Everything is baked (stored in the StoryServer file cache) so a minor template tweak causes the content generation processes to go ballistic. StoryServer does support Apache integration but it's not maintained on the same tier as their Netscape/iPlanet support.

Interwoven Teamsite

Another very high priced box. Teamsite's highly regarded for its workflow but the flexibility for various outputs appears limited. We also have to question how well the overall solution will scale with the price points that the various pieces require.
