It lost me here: > Java 17 or higher is required.
Is this the usual anti-java sentiment or is there something in particular with java >= 17 that you have something against?

Every conference has their own required LaTeX style file that must be used. Unless there is an automated way to convert these exactly, I don't see how LaTeX alternatives can be used.
Is LaTeX difficult to learn? An article stated something about how its syntax is inscrutable, from what memory will allow before the caffeine hits.

> when you use LaTeX once a year for 25 years That's me. Is there any specific issue you face which stops you from compiling old files? As I mentioned in my other comment, my grad school days documents are still compiling fine. If you still use LaTeX 2e and you've got all the dependency packages with you, pdflatex should Just Work. right? I can't remember any major change that would outright break your compilation. A…
I'm not quite sure who this is for. Markdown is for keeping things simple. There's plenty of of "proper" markup languages and full programming languages to actually write code in. Why do we need a hybrid program like this, which is not as simple as pure markup, and is not as powerful as a proper templating language? I personally just run markdown -> HTML/CSS -> python templating (Jinja or something) -> PDF/HTML As a…

Last I checked Typst can't emit HTML.
They do now, experimentally. The support is getting improved a lot currently.

But I always hate it when a templating language grows function calls and all of that. Maybe it makes sense in this context, I'm not sure.
But if you end up using it together with another language, maybe for server side rendering or some kind of document from data generation, you quickly realize that switching between the two languages wastes a lot of time, and the templating language is never as powerful as the "real" language. So I prefer JSX, or something like Javascript's tagged template literals. Something where you use a real programming language, but where the context of the document is understood, so you don't have to worry about escaping or XSS.
How is this different from Quarto [0]? Quite similar in name, same extension, appears the same aims, but at the minute less functionality. [0] https://quarto.org/

This is for academic and publication journals. Which is why you see Typst it's strongest competitor in the Comparison Chart.
as an academic I don't see myself using this because I don't see my co-authors using this.

Does org-mode have a spec? From what I've seen, org-mode is defined as whatever Emacs does. Without a spec I can't see how it's a viable format for widespread usage.
Org-mode has all three of: 1. Spec, written after the fact, not by a core dev. 2. Live help in 'org-info'. 3. Elisp string extraction via 'M-x describe-function' and the like. Difficulties arise from subtle inconsistencies between the three, and inability of any one to comprehend the kitchen-tool-bin jumble of low- and high-level functionality that has been added over the years. OTOH, content display is economical of…
