At the risk of belaboring a point that has been made several times,
it would be more useful to work with an experienced professional
in layout design in order to create the Troff macros or LaTeX document
style for your Generic Barbarian novel or whatever.  When everyone
becomes an amateur layout designer, the result is inevitably a 
great deal of amateurish layout.
