I've recently been very happy with AsciiDoc http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ - it's input is as easy to read as to write.

>From this input:
http://ds9a.nl/splitpipe/splitpipe-0.3/doc/splitpipe.1.txt

It produces this lovely page (html, man, pdf, the works): http://ds9a.nl/splitpipe/splitpipe-0.3/doc/splitpipe.1.html

And if you are really in a wild mood, you can have it make entire websites, like http://ds9a.nl/splitpipe

When used properly it builds tables of contents, indexes, books and whatnot.
