If I may add my 2 cents. As a webserver guy here I'd suggest producing  
a document in more than one format. While PDF is nice to print out and  
put in a binder or show around in a management-esque meeting, it's not  
my preferred go-to-source for c&p-able code/conf snippets.

I'm not really confident in TeX, but isn't there an option to produce  
plain-text documents or even simple html?
Both formats are quite okay for copy&paste.

You may now tear my arguments apart :)

Best wishes
Adam
