Messing around with Typst, something of a Latex-meets-Markdown layout language. This might be just what I need to finish that Tedium wall calendar I’ve been threatening for the past five to seven years.

This wouldn’t be the *best* choice for doing more nuanced layout, say cutouts and things like that. But this has a ton of potential for repeatable design.

Tool is commercial, markup language is open-source.

@ernie i had a pretty good time using it for slideshows with the touying plugin

https://touying-typ.github.io/docs/intro

being able to export my slides as html is damn helpful. dont have to worry about having that specific presentation software on the end machine or lag or whatever.

Introduction to Touying | Touying

Touying is a slide/presentation package developed for Typst. Touying is similar to LaTeX Beamer but benefits from Typst, providing faster rendering speed and a more concise syntax. After, we use "slides" to refer to slideshows, "slide" for a single slide, and "subslide" for a sub-slide.

@draconacht Oh, that’s pretty cool. What a neat language this is.
