There are of course way more efficient methods for generating templated pdfs than using a typesetter.
- cameroncooper 2y agoI'm interested to hear what you would propose.
- abound 2y agoNot sure what GP had in mind, but one can programmatically generate PDFs directly, without using something like Typst as a "middleman".
- the_mitsuhiko 2y agoHave you tried doing that? It’s no fun at all and far from easy. I don’t quite see a benefit in doing it without some utility.
- a57721 2y agoBesides, the generation of PDF reports is usually decoupled from the templates, so you will have to work on your own "middleman".
- wolfi1 2y agoI guess some webkit solution like wkhtmltopdf
- mr_mitm 2y agoHow is that more efficient than Typst exactly?
- bjourne 2y agoApache iText, for example.
