Not hard to guess - not many players around. ;)

This is commercial app, right?
Moreover, I do not believe it produces better output than TeX.

Well, in the past I used LyX which is great tool for authoring-phase and
later manually tweaked LaTeX code.

Have you seen http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html

Frankly speaking, reST provides a lot of expressive power if you want
it, while still keeping document very readable and no DTDs, schemas,
validation, fiddling with catalogs etc. :-D
Otoh, number of tags in DocBook is overwhelming and, imgo, way too
distracting for most documentation tasks, at least, for *my* use-cases.

OK. Maybe someone with more Elisp skills will hook on reST. :-D
