Typst is an open‑source markup‑based typesetting system and compiler written in Rust. It lets you write documents in a simple language and compile them to PDF, HTML, and other formats.
Use cases
- Create academic papers with complex equations and bibliography management
- Generate reports, resumes, or books from reusable templates
- Convert LaTeX or Markdown sources into high‑quality PDFs
- Automate document generation for invoices, proposals, or newsletters
- Produce slide decks and presentations directly from markup
When to choose
- You need fast incremental compilation and friendly error messages
- You prefer a modern, easy‑to‑learn syntax over LaTeX’s steep learning curve
- You want a single tool that can output PDFs, HTML, and other formats
- You require programmable styling and automation within your documents
When to avoid
- You rely heavily on legacy LaTeX packages that have no equivalents in Typst
- You need a WYSIWYG editor with full visual layout control
- Your workflow depends on closed‑source proprietary typesetting tools
