🆕 pandoc 3.8.1
This release adds vimdoc (for Vim documentation) as a new output format. Further changes and fixes include:
• New `shorthands` variable which allows to activate babel shorthands in LaTeX.
• Fixed support for pandoc-generated syntax highlighting in Typst.
• Links in EPUBs are now rendered in the reader's default link color.
@RussSharek Looks interesting, didn't know about #Typst - thanks for sharing!
Have just had a quick look at it so far. If I understand it correctly, you need a special (web) app to write things in Typst. If this is true, that would probably be a no-go for me (it is a critical feature for me to be able to use my preferred editor); will nevertheless have a closer look at it.
I usually use #LaTeX in case the required formatting is complex (and in particular for documents requiring a lot of mathematical typesetting - though this happens very rarely these days) and #Asciidoc in simpler cases (which happen to be the usual cases).
I can't speak to whether or not #typst is capable of replacing #LaTeX.
That said, it's a pretty neat tool. After poking at the (excellent) documentation and walking through the tutorial, I was able to start building good looking documents without any hand holding.
My use case is "using archaic tools like #groff to avoid fighting with gui/web word processors". If yours is similar, you'll likely enjoy playing with it.
The massive response to my #Typst article suggests that Typst is gaining ground much more rapidly than even I expected:
Typst: A Possible LaTeX Replacement

This is the overview article I needed on Typst. It concisely explains how the document preparation system works, in what it differs from LaTeX, and why it may be a suitable replacement for LaTeX.
This is interesting—a maturing replacement to LaTeX! It's called Typst.
I've been using LaTeX for all kinds of word processing since I left the academic world behind—I'm writing the manual for my Gnome for seniors in it, at the moment. Might be interesting to switch to Typst, to try it out. (https://mastodon.nl/@bammerlaan/115250126060588737)
Attached: 1 image New #blog post: Setting up #Gnome (Linux) for #seniors. I've been looking into how to best set up an extremely simplified and limited #Linux for #elderly people. There don't seem to be many pre-existing efforts for this, so I figured I'd write a short blog about it. https://bammerlaan.nl/posts/Setting-up-Gnome-(Linux)-for-seniors I've added #Mastodon as a #comment system for all my #blog posts.
