We can still write in Markdown and leverage Quarto or Pandoc directly to generate tagged PDFs via Typst as the pdfengine.

LaTeX is like the horse. Then along came Henry Ford and invented the automobile. Fortunately this did not deter mister Ford from fundamentally improving transportation across the planet. Therefore let us boldy go ahead with Typst and not be deterred by the LaTeX crowd.

So can or cannot Typst do that?

You're not reading the available information correctly and sharing misinformation about Typst. Like LaTeX, one downloads the Typst compiler. There are also multiple free GUI Typst editors available.

Typst Forum The Forum is the place to ask questions, get answers, and show off the cool stuff you are doing with Typst.

Yes you should not only check it out again, you might also consider posting your question at the Typst Forum forum.typst.app

It seems to me that perhaps we need a new subreddit entitled "Typst versus LaTeX", a kind, gentle place where people are free, welcome and invited to share their opinions and experiences with Typst versus LaTeX.

tdf is awesome. I use it with the Kitty terminal emulator

The latest build requires GLIBC 2.39 so it won't run on older systems such as PopOS 22.04 with GLIBC 2.35. Such a shame.

Now you can close off any writing with:

I use Typst BTW.

Example please? Fenced code with the three backticmarks works fine here.

Dafuk. Aren't you the guy who wrote Microsoft Word Must Die? So why are you are still using it after all this time?

1. Write in Typst
2. Convert Typst to HTML with Pandoc
3. Push to web server

But Ulysses is also subscription-ware, proprietary and has no Linux edition.

Why not scan those journal pages before shredding them, then later on you can run them through ChataGPT, which is good at recognizing handwriting, and save the result as Markdown. Then pass that to your family.

Pandoc

Thanks for raising awareness about mitex. This Typst package is new to me and a welcome addition to my Typst tool chest.

As Atlassian grew, the bean counters took over the place. The inevitable enshittification followed. It's now all about the bottom line, not all about the users. For other examples see Adobe, Hewlett-Packard and Oracle.

This is a very nice editor for writing and previewing Typst documents. Thanks for sharing this. Installation is easy:
1. flatpak install flathub app.drey.Typewriter
2. Launch Flatseal and allow Typewriter to access all use files
3. Start a new project leveraging the template library

LaTeX: Old, therefore good.

Typst: New, therefore better.

What an amazing and fascinating application of typography. Thanks for sharing all of this work, and for the top-notch documentation that accompanies it.

Thanks for posting Joplin developments here. That is very helpful.

So escape the offending character. Want to start a line with a plus sign, type \+ and you see only the + sign.

Thanks for sharing this and especially for shining light on Typst.

Perhaps you should go outside and make some friends.

Why?

Because friends don't let friends use fsck-ing Google Docs.

Look to Pandoc

Agreed. Necessity is the mother of invention. When I'm faced with "you can't do that" in whatever context, I'm like "Oh yeah?" and innovate a solution.

If there's no Linux edition it's a no go.
If there's no local-first solution it's a no go.
If it's subscriptionware it's a no go.
If it's not open source it's a no go.
