LaTeX is by far the best if you are writing a textbook.  However, there
is quite a steep learning curve.  If you have no LaTeX experience at
all, a good book to get is "LaTeX: A Document Preparation System" by
Leslie Lamport (the original developer of LaTeX).  After that, or if you
already have some LaTeX experience, a good reference is either "The
LaTeX Companion" or "Guide to LaTeX."  Personally, I prefer the latter,
however it is really a matter of personal preference.
