Try IBM's Hyperwise. A new version just came out a couple of months ago,
although I haven't seen it. The older version that I've used has some
limitations, but, on the whole, it's a very good markup language editor,
mostly WYSIWYG, and able to convert the work files to HTML, IPF or SGML
It also comes with IPF for Windows, which you can distribute as a
reader.

"When you're old and got arthritis,
Your bowels have got colitis,
You've galloping bollicitis
And you're thinking it's time you died,
If you're been a man of action,
while you're lying there in traction,
You may gain some satisfaction
Thinking, 'Jesus, at least I tried!'"
