I must write a book for the university and I am looking for software. The style that I want is like the books of O'Reilly, Apress or Packt. I need: - Insert a table of contents (automatic). - Divide and numerate chapters. - Insert code. Highlighting (automatic). - Insert formulas - Insert notes, warning boxes... - Insert elements: images, schemas, tables - Insert a table of figures/images (automatic). - Insert a index (automatic). - Custom design: custom layout, fonts, colors... - Export document: PDF, HTML. Software/tools that I have considered: - Microsoft Word - A markdown editor - LaTeX - Adobe InDesign Inconveniences that I have found: - MS Word is hard for hightligh syntax (?) - Markdown editors are limited for complex structures (?) I haven't used LaTeX and InDesign. **Which is the more appropriate software/tools for write a tech book?** _Note: I don't have reputation enough for tag correctly this question._
