The Weekly Challenge 366: The Time of the Count is Over

I’ve been doing the Weekly Challenges. The latest involved prefix testing and time validation. (Note that this ends today.)

@debacle @alerque @typst Grown up in #TeXLaTEX, pretty impressed with #Typst, using my own “mark4down” flow (m4 | pandoc) with either LaTeX or Typst as the actual typesetting engine. All work well, allthough I do think there’s room for improvement - are we yet producing PDF/UA?

I don’t know #SILE. Is this a stealthy pitch?

I like to read more about which tool is better for what. I only know #TeXLaTeX.

@kuchenmampfer mentioned faster compile times of #Typst, which might make it good for report generation, i.e. "mass production". It would have to have very good support for tables, incl. long tables, though.

@josch

For me, it's very similar:

#orgmode ⇒ 🪄 M-x org-latex-export-to-pdf 🪄 ⇒ PDF

If #SILE and/or #Typst ever make into #Debian, the magic step might change, but input and output formats remain.

Anway, I have to play with #TeXLaTeX a lot to get exactly what I want.

#TeXLaTeX, #SILE or #Typst? And why?

So, der Zwerg Kämpfer ist auch da: https://codeberg.org/honze-net/Foliant-der-Abenteuer/src/branch/main/Charaktere/Zwerg%20-%20K%C3%A4mpfer%20%28Beta%29.pdf

Halbling Schurke - der erste Charakterbogen als Beta. Alle Werte sind berechnet und eingetragen. Die Spielenden werden aufgefordert dem Charakter Leben einzuhauchen. Ich finde das einen guten Mittelweg zwischen "komplett fertiger, aber unflexibler Bogen" und "leerer Bogen".

Der Zwerg Kämpfer braucht noch etwas Feinschliff. Es folgen noch Ork Magier, Elf Waldläufer, Elf Kleriker und Mensch Hexenmeister.

Achso: Wer Ideen für Namensvorschläge hat, also für alle gelisteten Klassen, nehme ich gerne!
