Description

LaTeX is bulky, it's results are not easily viewed with a text editor, and it's not easy to convert to HTML for display on the project website.

We should migrate away from LaTeX and find a format that satisfies these things, making it easier to consolidate and organize the available documentation.

Preferably, the solution to this should not require platform-specific build tools (like pdflatex and LaTeX styles are currently required). Ideally, the solution should be able to build with Java/Maven plugin without any such extra tools (except what Maven downloads as dependencies of the plugin).
