I wonder if either Markdown or Textile would make a good format with which to author a book?

• I was thinking maybe Textile, with a few additional formatting conventions.

• If I ever did any self-publishing work, I'd want to avoid MS Word like the plague.

• I can write all my own formatting and processing code myself, probably even generate PDFs. Could use git to manage the work too.
