If you really want to be "old school" there is roff handled by Groff in Debian (most man pages are written in roff using the "man" macro package). The groff package includes other macro packages such as the historical "ms" and "mm" and a much newer package called "mom". Until Groff 1.23 is released, the package includes the "groffer" program that will read the roff file and call the PDF viewer for display or printing. There are also command options to generate and write a PDF from groff itself, but I like groffer for printing files I don't need to save the PDF for. I have letters along with a letterhead written with "mm" macros and envelope templates for US #10 and #6 3/4 written in raw roff requests that I use for printing such documents. I also edit these files in Vim and find this to be a fast and relatively lightweight way of doing so. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
