Heh. I'm currently working on a book (on Lisp, no less) and since I
couldn't see trading in Emacs for Word I've been using a home-brew
ascii->HTML (and from there to PDF) system I wrote in Common Lisp that
uses TeX/Latte-ish syntax plus some Wiki-like ASCII formatting. I
don't, however, have any facility for defining new macros/subroutines
the way TeX and Latte do, though that's not a bad idea.

Right now it's pretty much a big kludge, using carefully ordered
regexps to apply formatting but at some point I'm going to have to
start sending Word documents to my publisher--at that point I'm either
going to have to soup it up to make it capable of generating RTF
documents or switch to Word. :-(

If I polish it up at all I'll post it somewhere for folks to take a
look at.
