References in established systems like LaTeX work the way they do for a reason: you don't want to embed words in them (like "Figure" or "Section") automatically because it does not work across languages. Eg. both the article and docs at https://typst.app/docs/reference/model/ref/ use an inline reference that wouldn't work in Serbian. Serbian (and many other languages) have suffix declensions, so while "Figure 4" is "…

I wrote a recent paper in typst. We ended up converting it to latex at the last minute to work with the conference’s submission guidelines, and work around a small bug (now fixed) in typst. But I would 100% use typst again. I wish it output html so I could use it for blogs & documentation. The maths support was more than good enough for what we needed, and I enjoyed writing it a lot more than latex maths. The macro-e…
LaTeX maths or amsmath maths? TeX maths != LaTeX maths != amsmaths maths, and usually what I see described as "LaTeX maths" is TeX maths (or a subset, when someone claiming "LaTeX support" but not actually using LaTeX). I'm not interested in a programming language (though naturally being able to write plugins would be useful ala luatex), but a textual macro system. I have things like (which is one of the simpler macr…

Are you sure? Because latex macros like that are really horrible to read & write, and latex gives you notoriously hard to read error messages for your trouble. Here's the equivalent in typst:
#let dt(x) = $(∂#x) / (∂t)$
And you'd use it simply:
The result is $dt(y)$
I've moved all of my LaTeX-based content creation to Typst. It's: - Fast—Compiling my books would take around 1 minute (I often had to compile twice due to indexing). With Typst, it takes less than 5 seconds. - Easy to write—I actually don't write it, I wrote a bunch of Pandoc plugins to tweak the output from Pandoc (I write all my books in Jupyter these days, so lots of markdown). - Easy to read—I've used LaTeX for…
I find the whole system to be a bit house-of-cards and I’d love to try alternatives. What’s your workflow for using Typst with Jupyter?
Typst was a breath of fresh air, and I'm moving all my document generators to it and don't look back.
The only thing I miss at the moment is generation of HTML (in addition to PDF). It's possible to achieve via Typst+Pandoc I guess, but would be great to have it as an output target natively.

Was do you find inconsistent here? It seems pretty consistent to me, except maybe the
and that tag is kind of moot -- as another commenter mentioned, it could have been some other html tag like a div
Edit: and I think you also misinterpreted the other comment about the . It wasn't about using in place of , but rather that using in typst does the same thing as id="figure" in HTML.
It's cute that you can write greek letters by spelling them, without any escape: pi, alpha What I'd really want to type is however π, α Will this work in typst? I had some trouble installing it.
What trouble did you have installing it? (It's literally a single binary with zero dependencies)
To move to Typst, we'd have to start again and build all that again, because I guarantee there's stuff you just can't do it in it. I mean I looked at the options for tikz. One publication we have has 520 tikz figures in it for example. And that's dead.

> Besides the typst packages, it also lacks the editor packages. I am an emacs user… The typst editor plugin for vscode is pretty great. It gives you a split view of source & pdf, and you can cmd+click on either side to scroll to the corresponding source / rendered output. It also does things like give you autocomplete on fields from externally referenced json data. Obviously, that might be no help if you’re married…
Latex workshop gives an identical experience with latex
But typst is catching up as fast as it can. I find it very usable already.
