depends on what you mean by "easy publishing". in my lost-youth-
wandering-around-on-two-wheels phase, i found it easiest to write
and use a "trip log" program that created a simple file from
template in which i would scribble html directly. publishing
involved fiddling w/ delicate pcmcia analog modems and phone
cords, while twisted.[1][2]
these days i find it easiest to avoid writing text altogether (not
always possible) and stick w/ code and the occasional usenet post
(and definitely not while twisted ;-). were i to begin afresh i
would probably choose texinfo over html.
in any case, for "easy editing", probably all you need is emacs
and some time to find/grow your preferred style. just keep an
empty line between all paragraphs and your personal tools (which
are best developed as you go) will be happy.
