I wrote mine in LaTeX. I remember that making terminal output fancy was a pain. Eventually I managed to even get scissors to indicate omitted output. I was proud of that. Example: https://bayimg.com/gAaLbAaHI
Then I had so many dependencies that I didn't want to update my computer anymore as it could break my build process and the Makefile which did everything from taking the .tex files, to image processing, to PDF generation and cover art integration. So I moved everything into a virtual machine. I still keep it around but I am too afraid to boot it nowadays. Would be pwnd in a second after years of no updates :)
Next time I write a book it'll be likely non-technical and then markdown should be fine.
My book was about IPv6 and since it is no longer up to date I stopped selling it. It's available at https://danrl.com/ipv6 (Book language is German, though)
