I agree that LaTeX is great in most cases - but it is a bit tricky to
learn if you are not used to it.

There is something called txt2tags ( http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/ )
that converts a simple textformat to most other formats (from "text" to
html, tex, man etc) - I have not tried it fully, it could be nice, but
it disturbs me that the format is (just a little) different from the
wiki-format.

It is written in python and has open source I think.
