Hi Mark, Sorry for me speaking up this late in the thread. Currently I only read my mail during the weekend (a temporary situation I hope to solve in the coming month). About a year ago I had a similar wish. What I came up with is this: first use TT to create DocBook output. Next use tools that know DocBook to create all the types of document formats you want. For me this proved to be an extremely flexible solution. However I had to learn DocBook (XML) and XSL for it, which took me some time. I never regretted it though. From one set of plaintext files I can now create PDF, Word, OOo Writer, XHTML webpages and XHTML slides for presentations. I was hoping to write an article about my setup and methodology, but due to a recent change of jobs what little spare time I had has gone the way of the dodo...
