Academic ones anyway. Back in the days of CP/M I wrote a filter to take 
ASCII text with embedded escaped foreign characters and in line 
footnotes to produce output formatted to UK Modern Humanities Research 
Association standards. No database required, but quite a bit of tiresome 
formatting !

This meant that people writing in foreign languages could use cheap Z80 
based machines for editing rather than having to buy PCs with expensive 
software.

Music to my ears !!
