Use Pandoc w/ Typst. I've published many books using it.
In fact, just had a friend with a traditionally published book who is now self-pubbing ask me yesterday about my tools. I recommended Pandoc and Typst. He (surprisingly to me) had never heard of Typst, but within the hour replied that (with the use of AI) he had a great-looking template for the book. (Try doing that with LaTeX).
- mrkwse 4mo agoCould you elaborate on your workflow? Which tool do you start in (presumably it's a sequential flow?)? When is it that you go across the tools?
- __mharrison__ 4mo agoJupyter to markdown to typst. Pandoc does the last conversation. (Pandoc also creates epubs for me). I have some custom filters for index entries and code formatting.
- jcheng 4mo agoI'm curious if Quarto could coordinate all of that for you automatically. It supports both code execution via Jupyter, and output via Typst (including books). https://quarto.org/docs/computations/python.html https://quarto.org/docs/computations/python.html https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst.html https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst.html https://quarto.org/docs/books/book-output.html#typst-output https://quarto.org/docs/books/book-output.html#typst-output https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst-custom.html#book-format-extensions https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst-custom.html#boo...
