Typst is missing from comparison
Is this standalone, as in: an actual file format people can use? From their website it looks like it won't work without using their service or hosting something yourself?
This looks very interesting and more approachable than Typst. As some who uses headless chrome to turn html into pdf (for invoices), I have been looking for something simpler and faster. I tried typst, but it felt messy to me. I wonder if quarkdown offers more streamlined experience
What exactly is messy about Typst?
Once you remove that, both versions look essentially equivalent and just as readable.
I would love alternatives to HTML or whatever, but I tried Typst too and it's very clear that the authors only really care about typesetting for papers and other long form prose. Stuff like forms, invoices, flyers, handouts, leaflets, business cards -- an afterthought, at best.
Edit: Actually I was thinking of Sile not Typst, but I think the same applies to Typst too. I didn't dig into Typst too much because it was commercial though.
I have been generating documents for a while using https://github.com/enhuiz/eisvogel. It's nice to use markdown, but I feel really limited, and can't do much customization.
I would love to see some templates for this.

Also the only good implementation of web layout/rendering I've seen done in python.
The comparison to LaTeX is a bit unfair... the latex code is much larger than it needs to, and does things that the quarkdown doesn't (like floating the figure in the page). Once you remove that, both versions look essentially equivalent and just as readable.
This is so powerful, it makes me wonder why they didn't just make a new markdowny syntax for Latex so they could reuse everything from the Latex ecosystem. A bit like what CoffeeScript was for JavaScript, I mean.
