there were some remarks on whether to use TeX or troff; lets clear up
some misconceptions:

 > If you are going to switch to tex, switch to tex -- not latex.  Latex's
 > formats are restrictive and difficult to change.
restrictive? you have an example of a logical document structure that
can't be coded in LaTeX by a competent designer? the man in the street
isn't supposed to find style files easy to change!

 > There exists no documentation for tex.  The Texbook, by Donald Knuth,
 > is a tutorial, not a reference, and it doesn't tell half of what
there are several excellent guides to TeX or LaTeX, such as those by
Doob or Warbrick. If you are lucky enough to speak German, there are
several books.

 > Tex is designed for bitmap fonts (although with certain dvi->laser-printer
 > translaters one can use internal and scaleable fonts) and provides no
 > easy way to switch point sizes without switching fonts or vice-versa
 > (i.e., it lacks \f and \s).
a different point size means a different font! and TeX is NOT designed
for bitmap fonts IN ANY WAY AT ALL. It is designed for fonts of any
kind for which metrics can be defined.
