If you want to be able to output the same stuff in different formats, you 
might want to try the XML Version of DocBook, because you get to write it in 
ASCII (vi is great for this, as it is for just about everything), move it to 
just about any given format, and it seems to have good language support - 
German is fine, at least. 

Writing in a "lower language" like LaTeX (which I was doing stuff in before) 
has the disadvantage tempting you to try just one more trick or format the 
bugger just that much cooler. With DocBook, you don't get much control over 
the final layout, and that is just fine for me.

Y, Scot
