There is one thing I disagree with you about though. You talk about there being simple documents where plain text is sufficient and complex documents. I still think there's a third case, documents that are too complex for plain text but that aren't as big as books or dissertations. I think that this type of document is much more important than you think it is. At least in my life I've had to write short documents much more often than long ones. As others have mentioned I'll try Org and Markdown too. BR, Robert Thorpe
