I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but the basic LaTeX article class is suitable for building structured documents such as the Research Drivers document. I would definitely change the default margins and fonts, but that is independent of the document structuring commands. If the choice is made to go to LaTeX, I would also suggest that the group standardize on PDFLaTeX, which is commonly included with virtually all tex distributions these days. PDFLaTeX is a version of LaTeX that produces PDF rather than DVI as output. For graphics, it accepts the native graphics of PDF: JPEG for natural images, TIFF for lossless bitmaps, and PDF for vector artwork. Hyperlinks and other PDF document navigation features are also easy to come by. I've never really used any TeX->HTML programs, though, so I can't comment on that except to say that I presume that the standard hyperref package would be sufficient for embedding hyperlinks. Nick
