Once upon a time, I decided I'd rather have copious documentation rather than beautiful documentation, and used Word for the project. It's just so much easier to create and edit, esp. if inserting illustrations and such.

So maybe you should investigate tilly's hint on LyX further. With LyX you get some WYSIWYG and the power of LaTeX. Together with Ghostscript (ps2pdf), pdfTeX, html2latex, latex2html and latex2rtf you will get a powerfull typsetting environment which isn't that difficult to learn.
But it is still TeX, meaning a typsetting language. I would rather use XML or some other logical markup and then convert it to LaTeX or whatever for typsetting on paper, as pdf or to produce rtf documents.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
