Just out of curiosity: Does O'Reilly (still?) accept TeX as input format? And what about LaTeX? I tend to use Linux as much as I can but there's (IMHO) no good XML editor available for it, so I use LyX for most of my (Linux-based) writing.
And while we're discussing the topic, does anyone know if there's a decent XML editor available for Linux (and I don't mean emacs)?

This _is_ sad. I'd rather go with FrameMaker than touch Word. It gives me the creeps.
