Dear #LazyWeb. I wanna make #PDFs on #Linux. I wanna use some textual markup system, i.e. not a GUI like LibreOffice, and I don't want to use #LaTeX! It's there anything good?

LaTeX is pretty good in general, it's just so crufty and old fashioned and hard to use sometimes

@ebel It goes via LaTeX eventually, but I really like emacs’s org-mode. Pandoc can process it too but in emacs you get stuff like org-babel so you can generate tables and figures through code (plus org’s table editor is a joy to use).

@JoeOsborn @ebel I was about to say that, Org-mode is amazing.

@ebel @Anna Evil-mode is here for you if you want to give it a try! But I totally get it, switching editors hurts. Org and pandoc via vim could still be solid, especially with an ‘emacs -e “<<execute all org Babel blocks in a given file>>”’ in there somewhere.
