Yeah, right on, not to mention that linuxdoc is the "official" format of
the Linux Documentation Project.

I've fallen in love with LyX. It can convert so easily from Linuxdoc to
LaTeX that I was thinking it might be easier to compose a LaTeX document
(with custom class/package info) in LyX and then export it to linuxdoc when
needed. Since I've mostly avoided LaTeX for TeX thus far I picked up _The
LaTeX Companion_ this weekend and I must say that LaTeX makes doing this
stuff _much_ easier! Doh!
