Believe it or not, I am actually good at writing proper manuals, coming
from my previous incarnation as a tech-writer. My spelling and grammer
aside (all of which just require somebody to proof-read). However, my
main problem is that I do not know, and at first glance dislike, LaTeX.
I agree with all your points, although I would suggest dedicating a
portion to each supported game with a description and any release notes
for it. And we really are 'complex' enough at this stage that a proper
manual is indeed needed.
Would anyone be willing to accept HTML as the source markup format? It
is still easily convertable to text, PDF, Postscript, ectera. If not, I
suppose I could just write it in HTML and then convert it to LaTeX that
way.
