No, read my message again if necessary (please always quote when replying in

I suggest that you look into LyX < lyx.org >, which is a front-end to LaTeX.
It produces semantically valid output as PDF, HTML, PostScript, and more.
If you would like to get a feel for the output:

http://www.othellomaster.com/OM/Application_Documentation/OMAD.pdf

To get a feel for what the WYSIWYG interface is like, have a look at the LyX
Web site.

LyX will do all that you require including the generation of a table of
contents and an index. If you need a more advanced example of LyX output,
see the following:
PDF: http://www.schestowitz.com/Research/Continuation_Report
HTML: http://www.schestowitz.com/Research/Continuation_Report/HTML
The above includes a table of contents, list of figures, list of tables,
index, bibliography, floating figures and so forth. You needn't pay for any
tools. You just need to learn one.
I truly hope this helps. Please tell me if you insist on /not/ using LyX.
