nononono....please, this a personal request.. avoid LaTeX...

I cant give good reasons for that, but maybe this is good ones

1) For a windoze user, trying to migrate to GNU/Linux, he will have a lot of 
problems if he wants to read the users guide bofore migrating

2) HTML is much more de-facto formats. There are many frontend for them
and they are easiar for everyone to modify

3) LaTeX forces me to have latex fonts installed, the very latex and some 
other stuff, sometimes hard to install ( example, lilypond still sucks on my 
system because of conflict with latex fonts)
