I don't know all the capabilities your site has, but you might want to consider docbook. It is an HTML markup that can be exported to PDF, HTML and PostScript (and more).

Here is a sort of Linux-oriented intro to docbook.

Some editors let you edit text then export the formatted document as docbook, e.g. abiword. LyX has been touted as a multiplatform solution. More often folks convert or write in XML directly, it seems. I'd at least prefer an XML editor if I couldn't use, say, AbiWord.

There is also a book which can be purchased or downloaded.

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:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
