        Yes seriously. It can produce several different languages
including latex, html, and so on.

        The last time I tried it, it was limited in the form of
latex it could produce. So for instance it did latex quoting 
whether you wanted it or not (so no macros inside the table cells),
and could only use tabular mode, and not any of the other self-sizing,
or longtable options.

        Probably wouldn't be too hard to extend though.
