Best publishing tool

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hi list,

What do you guys think about asciidoc, has any of you ever used it? I
have a couple of papers and one ebook to write and I don't know if I
go the asciidoc, org or LaTeX path. I'd say asciidoc and orgmode would
be the way to go, because of the small learning curve. Any suggestions
appreciated!

Thanks,

Marcelo.

It is nice system, but I do not like Docbook-toolchain...and therefore
prefer reStructuredText (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html)
along with Sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/).

YMMV. ;)


Sincerely,
Gour

I tried it out a while ago.  It's simple and the markup format is
similar (not the same) to org. In fact should be straightforward to
translate from one to the other.  

However, I wouldn't use it for a long document instead of org for one
simple reason: org has so much extra functionality over and above markup
such as, for instance, project management and tags+categories.  I find
it so much easier to be productive by being able to incorporate todos
and so on within a document rather than having a separate task manager.
Searching and navigation within a large document is also easier.

YMMV, of course.
