If i could make a user manual with the quality of vogue ...

No, but i dont think, that every user manual has to look after ordinary
Latex with all the problems of Latex.

With Latex you cant Handle Graphics ( only in eps or ps, not in Text (
with floatin Text around), you cant specify the place where the Graphic
has to be placed ( becaus of the automatic Page processing ),you cant put
Graphics in the text ( for special Characters )), you cant Handle the Page
for page design, because its automatic, Latex didnt know the two
typographic Rules ( Huren Kinder Regelung, Schusterjungen Regelung ).
Latex can not be convertet in GOOD html or GOOD rtf OR GOOD PDF.
I can tell you many more reasons to bury Latex, but if you are interrested
we can do that private.\
