Hi Charles, thank you very much for this link. As a user of XelaTeX I know what inspired this application and I am particularly interested in its incremental compilation capacity - comes very late because I used to have overnight compiles of certain document which went from 6 hours to 5 minutes - and most 200-300 pages documents are in the order of 5 seconds now. Also, I hope the hunting around for something that needs to be different will subside a bit. I have no illusions that it is immediately usable for what I want, but I will certainly play with it and follow where it goes.
best regards, René. > On 22 Mar 2023, at 16:36, Charles Mills <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am not a user of typesetting languages so I have no real personal feelings, > but I know others here have expressed a fondness for LaTeX, so this > announcement caught my eye. > > "Typst is a typesetting system designed to be as powerful as LaTeX and easier > to use.
