Sorry, but HTML and (even more so) XML are not human-writable. :) Yeah, we can all do the simple stuff, but I absolutely hate authoring in HTML, and it would be a nightmare if the documentation production system didn't handle lots and lots of magic for you (like weaving in the right footers, css, etc. -- oh wait, that's ht2html!). reST is a fine language but it seems more suitable to simpler linear documents like wiki pages and PEPs, rather than those with complicated nested structure. Maybe it's just because I came in late on this thread, but what exactly is broken about the current LaTeX documentation? -Barry
