First of all, I will commend the Typst community for attempting to rectify the trainwreck that is LaTeX typesetting. It appears that they have succeeded. So Typst has its own styling system, and its own scripting system, and plugin system v

I hate to be negative, but I'm not entirely sure why this is advantageous over just dumping a bunch of HTML files into a folder. Why can't the code live in <script type="module">'s with `display: block` tagged
