If you want your document to be transformed into multiple formats then I suggest Docbook XML. The "xmlto" package will transform the Docbook XML source into FO, PDF, PostScript, HTML, XHTML, pain-text, JavaDoc, Microsoft Windows HTML Help, and (horrors) roff. The full Docbook XML language is designed for technical writing, but there is a simplified version that will suffice for a more casual book.
Having said that, I prefer LaTeX to Docbook as the syntax is not as verbose (damn XML\ldots) -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.ldots.org/
