My god, has the information on the docs community page grown since I last 
had a thorough look ! Marvellous :)

That gives me a reasonable starting point. Thanks a lot. I may explore 
docbook a little and see how far I get. Thing is, once the stuff is in 
some text-editor-capable format, converting to something else becomes so 
much easier. Word processing programs nail yourself into such a corner :(

Thanks again,
