XyWrite comes to mind: low resource requirements, yet oodles of formatting
options.

It takes a bit of time and practice to build up some speedy chops, so it
may not be the panacea you're looking for. I do know, however, that
XyWrite's format can be successfully converted into (many of) today's
common word processing formats.
