@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:

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.
