About:
Typst is a new markup-based typesetting system designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being easier to learn and use. It combines the familiarity of markdown with the flexibility of a full programming language for layout and styling. The tool focuses on providing a great user experience with fast compilation and helpful error messages.
Key Features:
  • Clean, intuitive markup syntax
  • Powerful scripting language for layouts
  • Fast compilation times
  • Real-time collaborative editing
  • Built-in package manager
Use Cases:
  • Academic papers and research documentation
  • Technical reports and documentation
  • Books and long-form content
  • Presentations and slides
Alternatives:
  • LaTeX – More powerful but steeper learning curve and verbose syntax
  • Markdown – Simpler but lacks advanced typesetting capabilities
  • Pandoc – Document converter rather than a dedicated typesetting system
