Poll: What typesetting system do you use for long monographs?

2 points by ez77 16y ago ↗ HN

I'm thinking about works as close to books as possible. Please feel free to add comments, as well as options I may be missing.

(I realize the choices I'm giving focus on the markup language rather than the tool (e.g. reStructuredText rather than Docutils), and that I'm mixing software products (such as MS Office) with markup language specifications, but please bear with me.)

I use reStructuredText as it seems fairly complete in terms on functionality and yet very simple to read as plain text. However, unless we talk about well-established systems such as TeX and LaTeX, I fear about long-term availability and support with so many ongoing projects.
