You could use yet another format for this. I'm toying with SGML
myself, but I guess creative use of LaTeX could get you pretty far, if
you don't want to be programming your own proprietary format
converters.
(If I weren't properly potty-trained, I'd throw in something about
the possibility to use WordPerfect :-)
What the world really needs is something like a reasonably complete
SGML DTD (appendices, footnotes, titles, headers, several levels of
section headers) and the tools to easily and more or less
automatically transmogrify this format to LaTeX, HTML, RTF,
PostScript, and plain ASCII -- regardless of platform (i.e. it should
work not only on Unix and lookalikes).
I've been looking at the AmiTCP FAQ and rolling my own on the side.
I'm not an SGML guru and not exactly a Perl wizard either, so my
feeble attempt will just be Yet Another One. If I ever finish it.
This is partially a troll for somebody with a more versatile FAQ DTD
than the toy one used for AmiTCP. With all due respect, it's a bit
limited.

In case somebody is wondering what I'm talking about, the AmiTCP is
mentioned in the, uh, FAQ FAQ FAQ at
<http://www.jazzie.com/ii/internet/faqs.html>
as an example of an SGML-based FAQ.
The interesting link in this context is
