Just want to learn about what tools and processes people use, and perhaps I can switch & improve the things I do.We also, but then in the direction of blogs, WordPress etc. Do you know LaTeX?

I used to love LaTeX too, but nowadays I prefer to use markdown whenever I can -- much lighter syntax (it's actually readable _and_ maintainable; I rarely have to Google for syntax) and compilation process (which, in contrast with that of LaTeX', happens to be sane :]).Especially nice in combination with pandoc, http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ And, hey, you can still embed LaTeX for math'n'stuff if you're so inclined ;]// You can even share your math with some poor souls stuck with MS Word -- and they can still edit your formulas with their Equation Tools:http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/e ... .docxFunny thing is that I've actually only learned about it just a year ago from the Scott Meyers' blog comments section -- pretty much a convert after trying it out // http://scottmeyers.blogspot.com/2013/01 ... d.htmlSome examples:http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demos.htmlEspecially like the ease of syntax highlighting, one source:http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/code.textmultiple styles of output:http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/e ... htmlSlides:- Source: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/SLIDES- Output: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example8.pdf// I think it's really awesome for this -- must be the fastest, most productive way to get syntax-highlighted slides with math -- and it's what made me abandon LaTeX in favor of markdown for presentations.Some nice examples of books made in markdown:* Pro Git- http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/epub.html- Source: http://github.com/progit/progit- Web output: http://git-scm.com/book/* Developing Backbone.js Applications- Source: http://github.com/addyosmani/backbone-fundamentals- Output: http://addyosmani.github.io/backbone-fundamentals/* The Little MongoDB Book- http://github.com/karlseguin/the-little-mongodb-book- http://openmymind.net/2011/3/28/The-Lit ...
