For my fanzine, I prefer people to send me submissions in plain text,
and I have this chain of conversions:
text -(txt2html)-> HTML -(html2latex)-> latex -(lyx)-> lyx
and then mess about with it in lyx to make it how I want it, and then
lyx -(lyx)-> latex -(tex)-> ps -(ps2pdf)-> pdf
If you have trouble with the HTML -> latex conversion, one can make the
HTML nicer with "tidy".
And of course there are a couple of other routes between latex and
PDF, such as pdftex and the one whose name escapes me which converts
from dvi to PDF.
