Check out the S-C Assembler, available for download with full
documentation at:

   http://www.stjarnhimlen.se/apple2/

The S-C Assembler fullfills all your requirements:

Yes!

Full documentation available

Can even run on a 48K Apple II+ and uses the language card if available,
and then it replaces Integer Basic as the "second language".

Yes!

Supports global and local symbols, macros, include.  Generated object
code can be put directly in RAM, or emitted to a binary disk file.

Happy assembling!
