Typst: A Possible LaTeX Replacement

Re:Typst: A Possible LaTeX Replacement by cbolton on Saturday September 27, 2025 @05:37AM (#45394387)

I moved from Pandoc+Lua filters to Typst. Having the scripting language integrated is just nicer, though I sometimes miss the separation between data (from Pandoc markdown) and code.

Is it as good for generating EPUB or HTML for instance? Or just plain text?

I use it to generate PDF. The last release introduced experimental HTML output which is promising but still immature. Work on EPUB support hasn't started as far as I know but it's on the roadmap, and I guess it will be relatively easy once the ongoing work on HTML and accessibility is done.

Sounds like it may eventually turn into an interesting replacement for Pandoc then, but I will stick to the latter for now.
