I want to write a book containing ordinary text, python code, mathematical formulas and also pictures/plots.
In general, how would this be done in the best way? People who publish books, how / in what tool do they write in? The only thing I can think of is LaTeX?
Use Scribus if you plan on formatting the book for paperback and hardcover. LaTeX is best for math and I’m sure that you can make it into paperback format or hardcover format with the LaTeX site manual. Though, using LaTeX for this seems like you’re doing twice the work when you could try to put it all of Scribus for paperback editions. LaTeX is DIY with full creative control while Scribus gives you, like any other formatting platform for paperback or hardcover, limitations based on the software.
