Also, there are pretty well-used toolchains for the LaTeX -> PDF route,
so it's likely you can just drop something in. The con side is that
distributing it crossplatformly gets problematic - the average windows
box has neither TeX nor ps2pdf. (I'm experiencing a similar problem with
an ascii | lout | gs > pdf program of mine - the end users are very
nontechnical, and I have to come up with a good way of distributing it.)
