Any form you find yourself comfortable with is okay, preferably one
that can be converted to many other forms automatically. SGML is
superior in this respect, but it is not the only choice.
Here's a brief summary of the terms:
+ A DTD is a specially formatted file that describes the syntax of a
document source file.
+ A style sheet is a specially formatted file that describes how a
document should be typeset.
A DTD and a style sheet together are more or less equivalent to a
LaTeX document class.

How do you generate plain text from LaTeX?
