If you're doing anything with footnotes, or anything you want to number, you do not want to be writing superscripts and subscripts by hand. Or section or figure numbers, etc. Unless you happen to like renumbering everything when you change something. You'd end up doing it with a word processor which would autogenerate all that and output HTML. For that kind of thing, it would be about as easy to learn LaTeX, and you'd spend a whole lot less time doing things manually. -- Alan Shutko - In a variety of flavors!
