Try using DocBook.  I've found it to be an excellent markup language for
this sort of thing.  You can automatically convert DocBook SGML (or
DocBook XML) to HTML, TeX, PDF, PostScript, and several other formats.
It also has some very nice features that make things like
cross-referencing easy.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but http://www.docbook.org and the
O'Reilly book are very good.

Also, if the document is short enough, would you consider making it a part
of my tutorial?  Custom widgets is something I'm interested in, but
decided not to include because of time constraints.  e-mail me if you are
interested.
