Hi RamPD,

welcome to the board!
What do you mean by automatical coding? LaTeX documents are plain text, they can be generated by programs like perl for instance. Some programs are able to export their documents into LaTeX format, like OpenOffice or gnuplot.
With LaTeX you can generate pdf documents and import them with Adobe Indesign.
Have a look at LaTeX Resources for Beginners, there are introduction and guides listed that may help you. Do you need information concerning mathematics in LaTeX?

If you have specific questions, feel free to open new topics and to ask.
