Nice! Excited about HTML export. I used LaTeX for autogenerating some semi-legal documents in both PDF and HTML, so all editing happens on Github and Github Actions do the rest for publishing PDFs and updating site. Started using Typst for some of these, but HTML export was a missing piece to completely switch to it.

#12Is this a LaTeX killer yet?
Totally.
Re: Typst 0.13 is out now
#13I've been following the HTML export thread, good to see some progress.
I've experimented with 'transpiling' to RST with Pandoc for purposes of digital documentation - but it's not quite there. Would love to see a flavour of Typst that could be viable for digital documentation with a decent live preview experience in VSCode.
I know this isn't the purpose of Typst, but one can hope. Would also welcome advice on this subject of decent authorship digital documentation - some of these frameworks are quite frankly massive, unweildy and painful to deal with.

I've migrated everything I did in LaTeX to Typst. Books (I've written 12 books), invoicing, slides, and handouts. Happy to never touch LaTeX again.

#15I watched the video presentation going over the new features, and the poor developer looks like he really needs a rest.
I think that was everyone's first thought! It's the first comment on the video too!

#16After reading Laurenz's blog post on TeX vs Typst layout [1], it made me wonder: how hard would it be at this point for them to make Typst directly understand TeX, and let you insert chunks of TeX. It would make for a really nice upgrade path. Of course, being bug-for-bug compatible once people layer on tons of TeX packages seems like a losing game. But if most straightforward TeX stuff "just worked", it would be an easy way to upgrade one paragraph at a time…

#17I just love how responsive the editor is.
The biggest downside is that now I dread switching to overleaf after typst!

Honestly a better first step would be getting inserting another pdf plot to work, but seems hard https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/145
Re: Typst 0.13 is out now
#19I am very excited about HTML export! HTML is much better at responsiveness and accessibility. Typst is such a great software. With it's modern programming language like syntax I learned it much faster than Latex. It's compile duration is also much better in my experience. I am honestly more productive using Typst it this point. Though I am not a power user. I only used it for slides and notation heavy articles.
Exactly. I like to output PDFs with exact layout, and then output to HTML with approximate layout for flowing, ease of use.

There is a Typst package called MiTeX that supports at least some basic TeX input.
