ok, for TeX i think Emacs can do the job, but thats just me, i also
think emacs does the job for html. 

people who don't agree with emacs for TeX, generally use something
like lyx, which is merely a crutch for them and not something that
brings in a fundamentally different approach to data, such as structured 
data which equires different catagory of application

If only more people understood this, I could have a shop on TCR giving
away personality profiles and becoming the head of one of the most 
disgusting religious organisations ever to have set foot on this earth.
