>>>Any further suggestion about editors and formats they save in? Your favorite text editor, and LaTeX? It is really a serious document production system, including a PDF generator. The fact that it is simple text makes diffs work. The fact that it has elaborate page layout control makes it good for graphics.

Call me a wimp, but I'm not to fond of LaTeX, troff or any other document production systems that forces me to mix content and formatting. (That's why I use XmlmindXmlEditor with stylesheets for docbook editing) Mixing content and formatting tends to draw focus to the formatting, not the content. But that's just my problem of course...

That's also a concern of all Forrest developers. The Forrest DTD is
purely semantical, no presentational tags. Just to let you know you're
not alone ;-)
