Yes, that works in principle - if you want to automate it use make to
define the exact command and any commandline arguments. I have seen a
number of people including myself using the various outputs of LaTeX
(and also external tools like ps2pdf, dvipdf, etc.) in this way.
However, LaTex is a bit of a learning curve for the uninitiated.
I would say this approach is worthwhile pursuing if the volume of
content is substantial, or there is a great number of documents to be
processed, so that automation is beneficial, and also if the documents
need to be maintained and re-compiled over a longer period of time.
However, if it's more a one-off for a few documents, then it might be a
lot quicker and easier using OpenOffice / LibreOffice, which can
generate DOC, PDF, HTML and RTF outputs directly. This is probably
easier to learn, and if you do need some automation later, there is the
pyuno scripting interface for OO.
Kind regards,
Helmut.

Hi,
source document in latex
and then use latex2html, latex2pdf, latex2dvi (and then to postscript
to print)
There is a latex2rtf
The docbook project uses (I think) .xml which will transform into all
the required outputs.
