&lt;/div&gt;
Having recently tried to write some documentation, I'm a bit struck by how
much all the alternatives I'm aware of suck.  All I want is to get a nice HTML
and PDF output of a document with a few tables.  Some signs pointed towards
this thing called &amp;quot;openjade&amp;quot;, which is a &amp;quot;document style semantics and
specification language&amp;quot; (I guess).

&lt;p&gt;Imagine how unimpressed was when I got a look at the documentation they had
produced&amp;mdash;If anybody is going to have good-looking documentation it
should be the people making the &amp;quot;document style&amp;quot; software!  At first I thought
of blaming myself because I had a wide screen, but it's even bad on a maximized
window on a 1024x768 monitor, with its black text over a terrible dithered dark
blue background.

&lt;p&gt;I guess I'll go back to writing HTML by hand and using &amp;quot;File &amp;gt; Print&amp;quot; to
produce PDF.  Or maybe I'll write LaTeX again and berate people who don't
seem to know how to use xpdf.
