Yow.  That certainly renders it useless to us.

We did our last manual in LaTeX, but there's growing pressure to go to
something more-or-less WYSIWYG; evidently the rest of the company isn't as

However, whatever we use, it is quite important for us to be able to
generate a PostScript file that we can send offsite for typesetting.
