About Typst
Typst is a web-based platform for writing and typesetting documents such as reports, theses, papers, presentations, letters, invoices, and resumes. Users write content as markup, with formatting applied automatically, and can start from templates or build their own. The homepage invites visitors to sign up to try it.
The platform supports equations, tables, code listings, plots, and bibliographies. Documents can be exported as PDF or image files. Website export is labeled as in preview, and the Websites use case is also marked as in preview. The homepage says the tutorial takes less than 30 minutes to reach basic writing. The directory lists Typst as not open source, but the homepage states that Typst is open source and that its core compiler is developed in the open. Verify the licensing status before relying on it. Pricing is unknown.
