It took me a few hours to be able to do things I could never do in Latex, which I have had used for a number of documents like thesis, project reports, etc.
In Latex I always relied on googling random packages to fix weird stuff while in Typist I feel like I can do anything I want myself.
The scripting capabilities are powerful and compared to latex insanely easy to use.
- lapinot 2y agoThis! My first actual project (besides some testing) has been my phd manuscript, and after ~2 days i actually had a tufte-style 1.5 column layout going, written from scratch. And its probably like ~250 lines. There are some rough edges still, the dom model and advanced programming stuff is not quite there yet (user-defined elements, user-defined settables, advanced layout like chaining blocks for laying text flows). But like the quality of the user interface is several orders of magnitude better than (La)TeX.
