Well latex is the best, if you don’t know you have to learn. I really recommendo for docs, order docuemntation, manuals and also som presentation. I normmally use latex for all =)

But always is good to share some tips, I write a lot of docs on spanish, and when I learn latex accent wasn’t my friends.

This package I recommend for a simple usage or little article:

    %My preference about document
		 \textheight=25cm
		 \textwidth=16cm
		 \topmargin=-2cm
		 \oddsidemargin=0cm
		 \parindent=0mm
	 %packages:
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %this was the solution for spanish speaker
    
	 \usepackage{graphicx}
    \usepackage{enumerate}
    \usepackage{amsmath}
    \usepackage{amssymb}
    \usepackage{textcomp}
    \usepackage{listings}
    \usepackage{tabto}
    \usepackage{hyperref}

Enjoy :)
