I have no experience with SGML, but I can strongly recommend you to use TeX, or more precisely, TeX together with its macro package LaTeX. It gives you the most ample control about layout, it is platform-independent, output is dvi which is routinely converted to ps or pdf; conversion to ASCII and HTML is also possible. A very comprehensive and stable TeX distribution is teTeX, which comes with Debian in many cases (if not, you can get it from the web). There is a very recommendable newsgroup, comp.text.tex, concerned with TeX/LaTeX issues, and a mailing list for teTeX where you can get information and support. Also have a look at http://tug.org/ >Or should I just stick with plain HTML? HTML by far is not flexible enough to create professional-looking printable documents; it wasn't designed for that, though.
