Thank you for this, I might consider it for my next paper - it seems great at a first glance.
Do you use it on a daily basis? Any problems I should be aware of? I see quite a few open issues - do they actually matter?
- lugao 3y agoI've utilized it to craft a number of high-school level mathematics and physics problems and solutions, and the experience was genuinely pleasing. The scripting language brings a fresh perspective to the markup language, while the plugin ecosystem is steadily expanding and improving. Though I don't have firsthand experience in formatting documents to meet publication standards, the flexibility it offers seems promising for such applications. My sincere hope is that it garners the recognition it truly deserves, and that significant publications in the future will embrace it, rolling out official templates directly in typst.
- wewxjfq 3y agoIt can't embed PDFs and there doesn't seem to be a solution in sight, because they want to keep their software stack working in the browser. It supports embedding SVGs, but converting PDF to SVG never works well, so the only reliable option is to render the PDF to high-DPI PNG. The font subsetting seems to be suboptimal. I had small documents that were a megabyte when they should have been a few kilobytes. This however can be fixed with PDF tools.
