Observable

Online notebook ObservableHQ does a great job interpolating dynamic values into very nicely formatted Markdown. It also has an export system that could work for distributing a single-html-file with your finished notebook: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/downloading-and-embedding-notebooks I think you could port your Word doc to ObservableHQ and wire up the forms & variables in an afternoon. But, I’m not sure if ObservableHQ will satisfy your other tool requirements. And I haven’t tried the export for myself. I built my first notebook a few days ago and was very impressed.

I'm working on https://reactivedoc.com/ - it's markdown + some custom widgets, and you can export it as a self-contained html file. I made it to solve my own problems: document commands & scripts and replace parameters with user input values. Soon I will release a new version with simpler syntax.
