[ale] [OT] Document formatter?

[James Sumners]

LaTeX isn't a "multi-purpose" tool. LaTeX is for LaTeX. Pandoc can
translate to/from LaTeX amongst many other formats. And Pandoc is *far*
easier to setup and work with than LaTeX. Basically, if you're not
typesetting a book or writing a mathematics paper, LaTeX is too cumbersome.
