Apparently Typst isn't supported by many journals, forcing LaTeX usage, anyone have experiences with this situation?

- mamami 4mo agoI still much prefer LaTeX actually, I don't feel like Typst improves over its main flaw, i.e. lack of consistency. One could argue that it's even more inconsistent. I really miss commands, \section for example clearly does what it says it does, while '=' is more nebulous. I don't like that instead of typing `\alpha+c` now I need to write `alpha + c` it blurs the line between what is a command and what isn't. So imo in terms of scientific writing it's pretty off the mark
- mr_mitm 4mo agoMost, if not all of these are just syntactic sugar. You can simply write `#heading()` instead. Although I'm not sure if there is an equivalent in math mode.
- ashton314 4mo agoI spoke to the couple (it’s like a single married couple + a bunch of scripts they’ve wrote) who handle the formatting for a bunch of the programming language-related conferences around the world (and others too maybe) and they are interested in Typst and are looking into it! (They’re also super nice folks.)
- bean469 4mo agoYep, usually what people do is import the template into Overleaf and work on it from there. It's only when journals and conferences will provide typst templates is when we will see wider adoption for writing papers
