Places I’ve switched from LaTeX to Typst: My resume, research papers. Markdown was never a serious contender for my resume, since I want to control the rendering and the layout.
Places I’ve switched from Markdown to Typst: Slides. There are some okay Markdown-to-HTML solutions, but they have this unfortunate side-effect that you move the slides to some other computer, and something breaks in your rendering. PDFs ftw.
- josephg 2y agoI really wish typst had a good way to emit html. Id love to use it for blogging & technical writing and documentation.
- laurmaedje 2y ago(Typst dev here.) That's one of the next big things we plan to work on once Typst 0.12 has shipped. :)
- josephg 2y agoI can’t wait! Thankyou for all your work - I really appreciate what you’re building!
- gumbojuice 2y agoAre there journals/conferences that accept typst for typesetting yet? It is probably my main reason for staying in LaTeX.
- ykonstant 2y agoPerhaps you can use pandoc to turn Typst into Latex and then do the little dance of making it compatible with the provided headers? [ The latter is painful no matter what; once, I had a paper that I simply could not get to compile with the journal's header and had to give it to a wizard for examination. He did some manual TeX shenanigans resulting in a big blob of raw TeX at the preamble and it all worked. ]
- prettymuchnoone 2y agothe pandoc typst reader is a bit barebones, it doesn’t support packages (understandable) and seems to get confused with functions for me…though it’s been a bit since i tried it
- auggierose 2y agoHow do you submit your research papers written in Typst?
