Latex is for printing isn't it? Rather typesetting, usually to a pdf file (at least nowadays). Of course, most of the time this means that something will eventually find its way to a dead tree.

This is a very good choice, /if/ you do not aim for high typographical quality and/or atypical applications (typesetting of chemical formulae, musical notation, dictionaries etc.). Out of curiosity: are there /any/ HTML/CSS rendering solutions (browsers, ebook readers etc.) which handle breaking paragraphs into lines in an aesthetically satisfactory way (i.e., employ the Knuth-Plass algorithm, for instance)? > I have rules for content generation (like a TOC), uploading, thumbnail > creation, packaging... Do you aim for online browsing only, or for a printed version, too? If the latter, how do you handle the problem of (potentially) unstable forward page references?
