Hi, list.

For those of you who are interested in creating formated documents but
have difficulties in learning things like latex I would suggest tools
like txt2tags http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net or muse for emacs
http://www.mwolson.org. These tools are using very simple and easy to
learn textual markup to convert your plain text into several other
formats including latex, html, pdf ETC.
