If you're going to make a habit/career of writing documents for
publication, and you like emacs for your text editing, I would
recommend that you learn to use LaTeX, a document preparation system.
LaTeX uses embedded commmands somewhat analogous to HTML tags that
tell the program about the content of your document so it can
determine appropriate formatting.
There is a wealth of information on the web about LaTeX, but I would
go buy a copy of the canonical work on the subject:
Lamport, Leslie, _LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, 2/E_.
ISBN: 0-201-52983-1
Also, there is an excellent mode for working with LaTeX documents from
within emacs, called auctex, available here:
