You're durn tooting I wasn't. What I use is a crude groff/troff/nroff
style markup to cut the key-strokes and fol-de-rol.

For example to put in a picture I have:

	#pic frog

In the HTML file this becomes: <P ALIGN=CENTER><IMG SRC="frog.gif"></P>

In the LaTeX file it becomes:

	\vspace{1cm}\centerline{\epsfbox{frog.ps}}

Similarly, to have an ordered list labelled a, b, c.. I have:

	#olst a
	#li whatever
	#olet

In HTML this becomes:

	<OL type="a">
	<LI>whatever
	</OL>

And in LaTeX:

	% At the front of the file
	...
	\newcounter{olst1}
	...

	\begin{list}{\alph{olst1}.}{\usecounter{olst1}\setlength{\rightmargin}{0mm}}
	\item whatever
	\end{list}

And so on.

In the unlikely event of anyone else actually wanting to use this, you
are welcome to the source and a brief doc file. It's in C.
