LaTeX is great, but it is a little tricky to use. OrgMode is an EMACS module which makes it even greater. I was missing out on OrgMode until just recently, so I've created a small document called LaTeX by Example (using org-mode) which demonstrates:
- basic styling, including tables and links
- diagramming in R
- diagramming in GraphViz
- running Shell code
- running Python code
- generating QR codes
The PDF version of the document even includes its own .org source code
OrgMode matters because its a free and open tool for reproducible research and literate programming in a programming-language agnostic way.
