yes. wrong. actually, it depends. for scientific texts and texts
where, you know, contents is the most important (as opposed to m$ word
docs), latex is perfect. have a look at
http://www.madduck.net/~madduck/thesis/ for my thesis (slightly
outdated), and http://www.madduck.net/~madduck/thesis.pdf for the
latex output that corresponds.
if you need to look fake-fancy as in word, then latex doesn't cut the
mustard. but then again i'd argue that no document can ever be
formatted well enough to look remotely close to latex - even with
html...
it's contents that counts...

SGML or XML i guess, but have a ball writing it :)
why not take HTML straight?
