Question of interest:

Could a script be made that, for lack of a better word, creates "compendiums" of shorter entries? I noticed things like letters, orders, and possibly even notices would fit together in somebody's notebook.

Like if you took this, http://lotrminecraftmod.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:363693 or something similar, and made a "History of the (Insert Name Here) Region of the (Other Name) River", by cobbling together multiple versions of the same entry. Or, rather, multiple, similar entries. Such as if you had a program that could take entries submitted with a #gondor_history tag and then make books such as "Histories of Gondor, Vol 1". This might require persistent variables such as dates and names that can be referenced later. (Village "A" founded....T.A. 1492....war declared between Gondor and Southrons, T.A. 1510....Village "A" razed, T.A. 1511...new Village "B" built on spot of Village "A" in T.A. 3100). Obviously, the example I give is fairly loose. But with some variables that can persist, and some small logic-based additions (For this one, it works in backwards chronological order: Village "B" chosen to be in previously occupied spot. Therefore, condition must be met: Raided/Burned/Pillaged/Razed/Destroyed/Abandoned which might require Conditions: Drought/Forest Fire/Invasion/State:War/Fire/Rebellion and then slap a note about Village "A" in the beginning)

Well, I'm leaving all of that, but it got a lot more complex and difficult to make than I expected...ah well. Guess I'm going to have to just go turn my rambling into a weapons' guide from the point of view of a Dunadan.
