Typst is great, but really doesn't really serve the primary use case of mdbook which is building documentation websites or digital knowledge gardens that are accessible as a website.
If you are typesetting a research paper or writing a technical book for print publication typst is a great solution, but for a lot folks not having web support is an absolute dealbreaker.
- josephg 2y agoApparently HTML output support is coming for typst. I'm very keen, since to be honest markdown just isn't powerful enough to support a lot of the typesetting I want to do. For example, using markdown you can't put text in boxes, reuse styles, link references to diagrams or sections, number headings, do math, and so on. All of this stuff is crazy useful in typesetting. I love markdown, but its missing too many features.
