sgml has long been used for professional publishing ( see adobe
framemaker).

The idea is that you can use fast/simple editors such as vi or emacs and
put in your own markup tags and save the processing (ie, generate
toc/footnotes/end notes/appendix/etc.) for later.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll read how to do a TOC, footnotes and
commenting/tagging paragraps, summarizing in vim. If you can suggest any
link, TIA. "your own markup tags"... I wouldn't use sgml/xml, but i'll
wait for any links on how to apply them effectively.

Try AsciiDoc:

        http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

It's a lightweight markup language that maps to DocBook. And you can still use LibreOffice for formatting and styling your document, or to convert to PDF or DOC by using the ODF backend:

A shameless plug ? Yes, I know, but I can use more testers :)
