I'm interested in people's opinion of typst's ease of writing and reading when limited to the simple types of documents for which people use Markdown.
Do you think it makes easy things easy and complex things possible?
- blenderob 1y agoI'd have loved to use Typst but all journals I submit to ask for LaTeX. And it isn't just LaTeX they ask. They ask LaTeX with specific documentclasses. The mainstream academia and journals have so much tooling built around LaTeX and documentclasses and they have so much inertia that I am very pessimistic that Typst will ever get any "market share" in mainstream publishing!
- freeopinion 1y agoTypst is made for the same target a Tex. Here I am asking if it is a reasonable replacement for Markdown or ReST in a target I don't think it was originally intended for. It would be interesting if the most popular forges enabled typst rendering for things like READMEs.
- tornikeo 1y agoTypst is almost as easy as markdown, but my only gripe is with the web editor app: the inability to insert links quickly, i.e. with a copy-paste shortcut.
- commandersaki 1y agoWould gladly use typst over md, rst, html, latex.
