Maybe have a look at Asciidoctor[1]. It's a plain text markup language
and
fast parser/converter with ruby as its sole dependency.
The language is easy to write, very easy to read and doesn't get in
your way. It's similar to Markdown but much more potent, well-rounded
and extensible if necessary. It was born as a replacement for
reStructeredText and is very well suited for writing technical
documentation or books.
I use it specifically because I can just write a plain text document
and worry about output formatting and everything else later, all while
having the confidence that the output formatting will
be doable with reasonable effort.
In the beginning of trying it out, I used the firefox plugin from the
same project which converts documents on the fly into HTML to get a
sense of what the output will look like.
(Asciidoctor is not to be confused with Asciidoc, which is the
predecessor project but seems abandoned.)

Hello,
What tools do people find useful for writing on OpenBSD? By writing I
mean long form such as novels and technical books, including plot and
character development, outlining, and formatting for publishing (not
all the same application necessarily)
I have found a number which boast Linux support, but not really
anything that stands out which supports OpenBSD (aside from the
obvious LaTeX et al.)
Mich appreciated
