You mentioned it (and I snipped it) - TeX. You can do almost anything in LaTeX - if you don't want to have to learn all the complexity of LaTeX (and if you know HTML it won't be that big a stretch), you can try LyX which is a WYSIWYW (what you see is what you want) frontend to LaTeX. I personally just use vi, but give it a shot.
