I've been applying an ID to the body tag of my HTML documents lately to allow greater CSS control (#9).

Developers need to write some manuals. Word sucks so we're killing it as fast as possible. So, what are good tools that people actually use? I'm perfectly ok with, and prefer, some kind of markup.
