When I was writing for publication purposes I did some similar, but I used TEX. It's a markup language that also supports macros which you can use to speed up your writing, and in the end you can produce a PostScript file or PDF file.

@stargazersmith@social.linux.pizza TeX (and LaTeX) have always been too much work for me. But there are very good tools (like pandoc) that compile to LaTeX and then you can go in and futz with it from there. With Markdown, you get to start writing and formatting semantically before you have to think about typesetting.
