It's amazing what the combination of Org and LaTeX can do without any extra
customization. Now, it takes a good deal of skill to get them installed and
know how to use them. You can't just point a Google Drive user to a link and
say, "Install this, it's easy."
But once you have them, you can make a simple Org document with a TITLE, a NAME,
a couple of headings, a few subheadings, some paragraphs—all just plain
text, nothing fancy—and then you export it to PDF and it looks like a published
book or journal article! When I first started doing that it amazed me. I
suppose I'm used to it now, but it is wonderful.
