- LaTeX has for years been the standard for writing beautiful math expressions and with the advent of versions like pdflatex, xelatex and lualatex it is very convenient to produce PDF files. The big drawback to PDF is that the formatting is fixed in the file - you can't "reflow" the text. HTML and epub formats allow reflowing of text so that you can easily read a document on a tablet or even a smartphone. However, you usually lose the beautiful math formatting.
- MathJax.org provides a way of incorporating high-quality math expressions in HTML for reading in a browser. The Rmd translator built into RStudio allows the use of MathJax markup, which is essentially the same as LaTeX expressions. MathJax is also available in IPython notebooks and IJulia notebooks. These are interactive web documents but can be converted to static HTML pages. Doug Bates created Mathjax static HTML for the MixedModels.jl Julia package. Wes Brooks included MathJax typesetting in a blog written in Markdown and served via Django.
- Prefered slide package with Rstudio/RMarkdown: xaringan. Other options are Beamer with LaTeX and Reveal.js.
