The last time I visited a newspaper I noticed that they were not 
using any kind of word processor to write the articles, instead 
they were using some kind of specialized software for writing 
the papers and the markup of the articles were similar to other 
markup languages (I'm talking roff, nroff etc).

However, this was about 10 years ago but I don't know if things 
have changed since then.
