After reading the introductory page, I don't see any benefit over Quarto, and in fact some limitations in comparison.
- astrolx 2y agoI was going to ask about comparison with quarto. I just managed to get a good quarto setup with typst to typeset documents and I'm curious about this alternative.
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoI'd use myst for docs, it's simpler, lighter, and interlinks well. Quarto is more for publications.
- agoose77 2y agoMyST-MD is also aimed at publications! See the SciPy proceedings for some examples: https://proceedings.scipy.org/2024 https://proceedings.scipy.org/2024
- lima 2y agoQuarto rendering is quite slow compared to Myst. It is more focused on R Markdown and Observable JS.
- agoose77 2y agoThe main _technical_ difference between the two tools is the underlying approach to how we handle ASTs. MyST-MD leverages the unified-js tooling around AST handling, whereas Quarto uses Pandoc. For UX, we think that MyST has a lot of nice bells and whistles, but we really need to author a blog post or documentation page to clarify the user-facing differences!
