I’ve actually made the switch over to Typst[0] for my app [1]. I’ve previously used a quick jinja .tex template that then just pasted things in, but LaTeX can really throw some strange errors and overall handling the files was a hassle.
Typst was much easier to setup and the function-based operation meant that sending variables in was a breeze with better error handling there too. Also, I just grok the syntax a lot better.
Just another option for folks looking to redo their resumes/not use Latex.

- emmanueloga_ 2y agoIt took me something like 20min to learn the very basics of Typst and generate a PDF of my resume from my machine (Typst is distributed as a single binary). Definitely a lot easier to work with than LaTeX. I used this package [1] (see also the index [2] for more packages / templates). -- 1: https://github.com/talal/pesha https://github.com/talal/pesha 2: https://typst.app/universe/ https://typst.app/universe/
- DEADMINCEDOS 2y agoTypist looks interesting, although I've had no issues with LaTeX so no reason to change to something more niche.
- OJFord 2y agoYou've never had an underfull hbox?
- datadeft 2y agoEither your are a pro LaTeX user or you did not use the more advanced features.
- DEADMINCEDOS 2y agoOr I just didn't have the issues you or others did. Tex distribution can make a point, also editor most likely.
