Typst

Last modification:

When ever editing big text projects I used $\Latex$ . Just because Latex is the right tool for the job.
But as it turned out there has been a simpler tool for the job. And it is called Typst.

Why it is simpler:

  • It is FOSS
  • Ready to write: no \document{begin}
  • Markdown based syntax where it can: eg. headings with =
  • Easy math syntax
  • Simple coding constructs instead of single use case based macros
  • FOSS templates ready to clone
  • Renders preview from buffer: instant update without having to safe
