    I dont know if you are aware of all the available Tex Software, such as
    LaTeX and LyX, and more but if you are really intersted in TeX you should
    look through them first. There are versions of TeX available for many
    platforms (including windows which you appear to be running).
    Im wondering if Open Office has any TeX support but a quick search did not
    turn up anything. Dont know about KDE. I can suggest some other software
    if you want. If you find anything interesting please tell us, especially
    if it is cross platform.

    Abiword exports LaTeX. Abiword does not import any variety of TeX
    although we would love if someone would help to improve any of the TeX
    support.
    the abiword file format is XML based, uncompressed by default, there is
    also a gzipped version. Abiword can export to HTML and XHTML.

    Abiword supports DocBook XML, but not DocBook SGML. Most Gnome/KDE
    projects seem to me going from SGML to XML anyway.

    SGML would be too difficult for abiword to implement, do you have any
    particular type of SGML (such as DocBook) in mind?
