The Gentoo markup doesn't look so bad -- how does the whole generation process feel? I was just looking at docbook, and just *looking* at the source made me feel tired and sad. Horrible, horrible, horrible... and it's been around forever, but there still doesn't seem to be a good authoring environment for it (though maybe I just don't know where to look). Anyway, Geoff's right about the Windows thing... do you know if the Gentoo stuff can work on Windows? I couldn't find the source in my brief search. I might be able to get over my annoyance with XML if I look deeper into Emacs -- I'm sure there's something in there to make it more pleasant (maybe abbrev...)
