Why I Prefer RST to Markdown

I used typst for a recent project and I love it. It’s essentially all the power of latex but with modern sensibilities. And it’s a cute little programming language - with support for variables, functions, json data loading, 3rd party libraries, and all sorts of other nice to haves.

I just wish the typst compiler had a way to output html. It would be perfect for making online documentation and blog posts.

I see typst mentions HTML output, is this only possible with something besides the the CLI? It looks very cool, going to try it out at the first opportunity.

HTML output with Typst isn't possible yet, but it has a high priority.

For the upcoming release, we decided to prioritize print layout and the shortcomings we have there. The release after (think late fall) will focus on HTML and accessible output. The plan is to create a turn-key solution for technical writing, docs, and document automation.
