I’ve been [happy with LaTeX](https://my.siam.org/Store/Product/viewproduct/?ProductId=44313635), using the publisher’s style file, and IJulia. The mapping from notebook to/from print book is not trivial, but once you figure it out progress is fast. I just finished [such a project](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-siamfanlequations-jl-v1-0-publication-release/86946) and had a great time.

If your book will have a significant software component, you should consider building a package for that. This will help you stay organized and give you a convenient way to do CI. I had a [very good experience](https://github.com/ctkelley/SIAMFANLEquations.jl) with this and it was much better than trying to do the same thing in Matlab and letting the publisher store the files.

Putting your examples in an IJulia [notebook](https://github.com/ctkelley/NotebookSIAMFANL) also keeps you organized.

There’s a [new Julia-based book](https://my.siam.org/Store/Product/viewproduct/?ProductId=41831895) that’s worth a look too.
