I've acquired a preference for txt2tags, which will output LaTeX as
one of its formats.  You can also put raw LaTeX in there if you need
to.  ;)  I use that when I have to put math in anything (although I'm
slowly creating txt2tags macros that do the conversion for me, with
the hope of some day writing a python script to scan for those and
render images for other targets, like xhtml).
