Why would that be simpler?
An MS Word document or an RTF document provides a form of "markup"  
just like anything else. It's probably a lot more structured and, in  
the case of Word, eases burden greatly on the parser that reads the  
file.

It is neither Aquamacs nor the included AUCTeX that compile your file  
to PDF. It is "pdfLaTeX", which you have to have installed separately,  
as any web page on LaTeX will tell you.

I see. Well, Aquamacs does not include LaTeX2HTML just like it does  
not come with LaTeX. It is an editor that provides the interface.
(Similarly, we don't include R, even though we have an interface to it  
with ESS.)
