Hi again,

one more thought: since it seems that there are quite a few people here
using LaTeX for educational purposes, I thought you might be interested
in ConTeXt (see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page).  It is also a
TeX-based tool, imho better than LaTeX (though definitely less stable -
nevertheless, there are people who use it for production purposes - and
not only its developers).  It was developed as a general-purpose tool
(unlike LaTeX, which is still - after 30 years - mainly aimed at
academia; LaTeX3 should change it, but it's still far from ready), but
with educational documents being an important focus.

If anyone is interested, I can write some more about it, especially
about its pros and cons as opposed to LaTeX (I've been using both
extensively for quite a few years now).

Best,
