I said PDF just because it's the most accessible format. I use Pages and LibreOffice (was OpenOffice) on the Mac. If there's a good ePub tool I can use I would happily use it. My primary focus for the manual is web format, so people can access it on their PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads... EVERYWHERE! It'll allow people to overview commands, see their origin/version, have code snippets you can cut'n'paste, etc...
