One quick way is to write it up using Markdown and put it through Pandoc
to generate PDF or whatever. However, it insists on putting “Figure 1:”,
“Figure 2:” etc caption prefixes.

RestructuredText may be another quick option.

Or for more elaborate formatting, you could look at ODF. I have written
Python code, using odfpy, to automatically generate ODF files for my
invoices.
