- Docutils
Docutils is an open-source text processing system for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML, LaTeX, man-pages, open-document or XML. It includes reStructuredText, the easy to read, easy to use, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language.

- LaTeX
LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. LaTeX uses the TeX typesetting program for formatting its output, and is itself written in the TeX macro language.

- reStructuredText
reStructuredText (RST, ReST, or reST) is a file format for textual data used primarily in the Python programming language community for technical documentation. It is part of the Docutils project of the Python Doc-SIG (Documentation Special Interest Group)

- Sphinx
Sphinx is a documentation generator written and used by the Python community. It is written in Python, and also used in other environments. Sphinx converts reStructuredText files into HTML websites and other formats including PDF, EPub, Texinfo and man.
reStructuredText is extensible, and Sphinx exploits its extensible nature through a number of extensions–for autogenerating documentation from source code, writing mathematical notation or highlighting source code, etc.
Technologies¶
- BibTeX
BibTeX is a widely used bibliography management tool in LaTeX, with BibTeX the bibliography entries are kept in a separate file and then imported into the main document.

- PGF/TikZ
PGF/TikZ is a pair of languages for producing vector graphics (for example: technical illustrations and drawings) from a geometric/algebraic description, with standard features including the drawing of points, lines, arrows, paths, circles, ellipses and polygons. PGF, the Portable Graphic Format, is a lower-level language, while TikZ, which is written in TeX, is a set of higher-level macros that use PGF.
- TeX
TeX is a computer language designed for use in typesetting system; in particular, for typesetting math and other technical material. It has been noted as one of the most sophisticated digital typographical systems and is also used for many other typesetting tasks, especially in the form of LaTeX, ConTeXt, and other macro packages.
