While I was following the thread, I couldn't help but attempting to
recommend something else -- asciidoc from http://asciidoc.org/, because
after all, when writing, the main focus should be on the content, and if
the formatting is getting into the way of documentation, then that's a sign
of bad choice.

Hope that I am not shooting myself in the foot to recommend asciidoc,
because you are writing in (almost) plain text and have all sort of tools
to post-process for you, be it doc-book, or latex, to produce anything,
html file, pdf files, slides, etc, etc.

What prompted me to the recommendation is that, today I noticed on
the asciidoc mlist (http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/), the Mallard
is now supported as another asciidoc backend, just like the doc-book/latex
does. Hope that could make LUbuntu documentation a bit easier.
