nice

I had been using LaTeX at work and decided to give Typst a try:

I installed the compiler and vscode extensions to run Typst natively.

Setting up my orgs template in Typst was significantly easier then LaTeX and took about 20% less lines of code.

I like the more modern, practical syntax for writing docs.

It's still a relatively young project though, so I found a few rough edges:

• Paragraph indentation rules for my language weren't available: managed to find a workaround though
• Only allows use of relative paths for images, imports etc: apparently for security reasons, forces me to have template logo in almost every folder
• Localized dates: Typst can't do it
• No \graphicspath like command: LaTeX will search for an image by filename in each specified folder, in order. Typst has no equivalent command (yet)

Overall I was positively impressed, but went back to LaTeX mostly because of the last two points. Curious to see how Typst will be in a few years!

Eu até zoava de leve quem tinha, mas um dia ganhei de presente e ajuda bastante. Tenho filho bebê e as vezes depois de botar ele pra dormir quero aproveitar uma gelada. Se acontecer de ele acordar e eu precisar deixar a cerveja parada até ele dormir de novo, quando volto a cerveja ainda está ótima. Me converti kkkk
