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.
