Oddly enough, a lot of the features you want are in "vi"... which was used
for on-line documentation with a separate text-processing step as well as
program editing. For example, type ":abbr tt Turing Test" then insert
"can vi pass the tt?"... you'll get "can vi pass the Turing Test?".

(vi as a word processor for professional writers. wottaconcept)
