I'm interested in experimenting with Typst. There's a sample document that I would like to convert to Typst: title, author's name, table of contents, numbered sections, paragraphs and lists are most of the elements.

Is there a template that I should use, similar to the LaTeX article class? I've reviewd Typst templates on GitHub, but I haven't found one suitable for such a basic document.

My plan is to use someone else's typographic design so that I can concentrate on the content, leaving formatting decisions to the designers. As an author who happens to be blind, I find it convenient when someone else takes care of presentational details.

Support for HTML output is available as a "preview" currently, but it is likely to improve in later releases. My intention is to produce both HTML and PDF from the same source. If Typst continues to mature rapidly, I'll probably write research papers in it also.

@jsonstein Yes, Pandoc supports Typst output. What I have in mind, though, is to write Typst markup directly and ultimately to use its in-built HTML output in addition to the typset PDF.

However, if you don't have a TeX installation and you want to generate PDF documents from Markdown, Pandoc and Typst are probably a good combination. I might do this as an intermediary.

Hi Jason!

In order to write a typst document, you need to write a .typ file. I wrote an example file for the requirements, you mentioned.

The document starts now.

#set document(
title: [An example document],
author: "Jason J.G. White"
)

#outline()

= Document
== First section

+ First item
+ Second item
+ Third item

The document has ended now.
The thread continues in my next reply
