I am currently writing a 200+ page thesis in Latex using wily;
it's not hard to navigate if you are strict with yourself, using
multiple files and a strict indentation policy. It's a bit like
writing C....
If you use indentation and blank lines carefully, then the whole
thing can ||fmt (or fw to match the tab size) without messing up.
As for footnotes, I find them very hard to read in latex src; I
think that syntax highlighting would help, but probably not much.
Eg. (excuse the narrow text width---so that the mail client
doesn't change it, the tab stop should be 4 chars for
anyone not using wily to read mail.).
\section{Editors}
The previous section showed how an editor is a necessary
tool for markup. Here we describe some features that
are frequently used.
\subsection{Cut and Paste}
The menu oriented nature of \emph{cut and paste}
in most editors is not useful.\begin{equation}

Beer should be used daily after using Latex in order
to preserve sanity.
