Thanks for the prompt reply!
I never used LaTeX, but I saw some of its markup used in Geogebra 
formulae so it seems easy to generate from Lua (I hope it is not too 
difficult to learn - I will search the Internet...).
But how to compile it to PDF? I heard its compiler is huge and must be 
installed. Are there some tools that can be carried away in an easy way? 
After all I don't need the full power I heard LaTeX is able to provide!
