Org mode is my documentation secret weapon. I write books, presentations, technical documentation, and even literate data migration scripts. Some added tips: ditaa is cool but you can also integrate mermaid [0] well and display inline images. There's a well-done revealjs [1] exporter. And you can also use results blocks as input to other code blocks! PDF export is excellent and integrates well with some scripts I wrote to publish them to my remarkable. Great for writing and then reviewing specs on the go. The drawback is that sharing the document sources with a team is hard since so few people on a team are likely going to be emacs users. Only work around I have for that is to run emacs in batch mode to generate/export docs... or just export to markdown and maintain in markdown if the team uses a different tool or dislikes the org syntax.

In Emacs org-mode examples and cookbook (2017)
MarcScott·Sep 24, 2017Recommendation phrase
I love org-mode, but have to write GH flavoured markdown for work. It really is a second class citizen in comparison. Org tables are sublime. I quite often fire up orgtbl-mode just to create tables easily in other text documents. Writing code blocks, in a language's major mode, is amazing. Just C-c ' and you're away, complete with your emacs tool chain, which for me means I get Python syntax highlighting, autocomplete and a PEP-8 checker. Then you can use babel to present your output. Export to html, pdf, odf works brilliantly, and I can specify a CSS sheet to style it however I want. And lastly there's https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal which let's me make slide decks effortlessly.
