Yes, it means that all markup is done using latex commands in text
files. And yes, it means learning some basics of latex. Believe me,
latex is not that difficult for normal documents. I'll happily put
together a two or three page primer that teaches you the basics, which
is all that you'll need. Any layout problems, I'll take care of.

I would rather strangle myself than try to write a technical
paper in word; not to mention the fact that I don't even own a 
copy of it!
