I am not very familiar with English bibliography. I just published two days ago "L'Espagne et Napoléon" in three volumes by Geoffroy de Grandmaison which contains "only" about 1/3 of military affairs.
As far as OpenOffice is concerned, I find it very convenient. I use this joint template. From it:
- to generate a TOC: Insert/insert table and it detects
automatically H1, H2, H3 with page numbers...You also can very quickly hyperlinks, pressing some more buttons. Just try it.
- to generate a PDF: press the button.
- to generate en epub: euh... not here yet
It is also good for dealing with footnotes (history books have a lot of them).
In fact, once you have a convenient model, 95% of your work is done. To create a model is the difficult part, dealing with styles is not very easy that's true.
To adapt to another size my odt file, I just need to create a new model only by selecting Format/Page, precise the size and margins and just insert my odt.
I heard and believe that latex is an all powerful tool, but for my modest use, it looks a little like overkill...
Though I am a keen Ubuntu Karmic user, I use the command line sparingly, more than ones, less than others...
