nice, 1 month ago I had been using LaTeX at work and decided to give Typst a try: I installed the compiler and vscode extensions to run Typst natively. Setting up my orgs template in Typst was significantly easier then LaTeX and took about 20% less lines of code. I like the more modern, practical syntax for writing docs. It’s still a relatively young project though, so I found a few rough edges: Paragraph indentation rules for my language weren’t available: managed to find a workaround though Only allows use of relative paths for images, imports etc: apparently for security reasons, forces me to have template logo in almost every folder Localized dates: Typst can’t do it No \graphicspath like command: LaTeX will search for an image by filename in each specified folder, in order. Typst has no equivalent command (yet) Overall I was positively impressed, but went back to LaTeX mostly because of the last two points. Curious to see how Typst will be in a few years!
