  • github-orgmode-tests

    This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files

  • For drawings I use xournalpp, for notes, etc. I use org-mode in emacs

  • pandoc

    Universal markup converter

  • As others have said, depends largely on purpose and habits. I do produce most of my writings on LaTeX, but most days I actually write with markdown (which is easy and fast to write in any text editor) and export it to LaTeX with Pandoc.

  • reveal.js

    The HTML Presentation Framework

  • For other programatic methods, there are plenty of non-LaTeX tools, reveal.js and impress.js for starters, but the learning curve for someone not already familiar with web design and javascript is too high IMO just to get prettier transitions and embedded video.

  • impress.js

    It's a presentation framework based on the power of CSS3 transforms and transitions in modern browsers and inspired by the idea behind prezi.com.
