Typst 0.15.0

I have nothing but great things to say about typst, and this is my personal favorite from this release: "A single document can now contain multiple bibliographies"

HTML support just keeps getting better and better! Mathematical equations are now automatically exported to MathML (thanks to @mkorje)[1] [1]: https://github.com/typst/typst/pull/7436

> A single document can now contain multiple bibliographies I have been waiting on this one for years now. Great work.

Typst has probably saved us thousands of dollars generating PDF documents programmatically.

Typst killed the invoice industry

Reminder that it's 2026 and batch-mode typesetting seems an oddly low bar for what we can get from a computer. Tree-structured documents in a live (WYSIWYG) typesetter with a programmable editor are possible, as is demonstrated by https://texmacs.org ( https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/videos.en.html if you don't have it installed).

As a non-developer who really only uses computers to write and produce documents, why would I use typst over org-mode or $your_fave_markdown + pandoc?

I have used many things to generate print documents and layouted PDFs: - Adobe Illustrator - Adobe InDesign - Markdown with and without custom themes - Markdown compiled to .idml to integrate into InDesign - HTML and CSS - LATeX Typst is so far one of the most enjoyable ways of programmatically generating layouted stuff I ever used. The only thing missing is a good Desktop editor that allows dumb users to double-click a .typ file and see/edit the file instead of having to setup VSCode, plugins etc.

I'm currently working on my fourth book produced using Typst, and it has been nothing but amazing. LLMs struggle with Typst a bit but other than that it has been an absolute joy to work with. I have a pretty good workflow set up for publishing these books, which are mostly collections of student essays. I use Pandoc to convert the students' Word documents into Typst, then unify the formatting, styles, and headers (mostly via LLMs). From there, I generate both a nice digital PDF and a print-ready PDF using Typst, and then use Pandoc again to convert the Typst into what ultimately becomes an EPUB. It all works quite beautifully. Most of the challenges I've run into are related to Typst features that don't map cleanly to Pandoc, so I end up adding a few funky conditionals so those features aren't hit when converting via Pandoc. sys.inputs makes that very easy https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/11588 The books in question: https://thelabofthought.co/shop

I've been using LaTeX for math for over a decade now. I'm pretty happy with it frankly, but there are major pain points in the compilation time and whenever it's time to interface with the language programmatically. Typst is, frankly, awesome in that regard. However, I really dislike the 'magic' in the math mode syntax, and I think dropping backslashes (more generally, a delineator) for commands was a mistake. Those aren't blockers though, and I think the org is largely making good decisions. I'm really looking forward to the day I can write research in it! I think all that's remaining is time in the community and stability. Once journals begin accepting it, I know I'll definitely try to submit in it.

Almost exactly a year ago, I made the switch from generating LaTeX from markdown using pandoc to typst. Best decision I have ever made. I can actually write my own macros (both LaTeX and pandoc were a pain in the ass). The ecosystem is not quite a mature as latex, however I can implement the things I need myself. If you are on the fence, do yourself a favor and try it. There is a VS Code extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=myriad-d... .

good timing, I just started learning Typst this weekend!

This is awesome! I’ve been excited about the new bundle feature for months. I use typst to format sheet music. Given a folder of PDFs, I currently have a script that generates a booklet of music for each person in the ensemble. Hopefully now I can just run a single typst file which outputs multiple PDFs. Also using it to generate printable programs for concerts: https://concert-programs.projects.jaygoel.com/

Apparently Typst isn't supported by many journals, forcing LaTeX usage, anyone have experiences with this situation?

Typest is amazing, Claude Code + Opus 4.8 knows how to use it, but I found that Claude by default is crap at designing even a reasonably formatted PDF. E.g. Claude sets the line height to be so small, all the lines are squished together, and a 1-pager PDF is half blank. I see many folks saying you're producing beautiful PDFs. How are you dealing with design?

I became a Typst user earlier this week, and it has been a delightful experience. It did not take me long at all to get up to speed. I have used LaTeX before, but that was over 20 years ago. I’m doing some postgraduate where I need to submit a paper written in the two column IEEE style. I’m pretty sure I spent 40% of my time last time fighting with a Word template, rather than producing content.

I've switched form LaTeX to Typst for all my informal/semi-formal writing and it's a delight to work with. I hope I'll be able to use it for more formal documents in the future (conference/journal papers, slides for high stakes presentations)

As a former software developer, now turned student (studying theology while I train to become a pastor), Typst has been great for writing my dissertation with one notable exception: it really doesn't handle footnotes well. Specifically, see: https://github.com/typst/typst/pull/8147 Discursive footnotes do not really work when including bibliography references. I've also hit other issues, like footnotes appearing a page before the text they are linked from. It's a real shame, as otherwise it's great software. I suspect footnotes are currently buggy because most users are currently from the science world and use inline referencing instead. I'm really hoping this is fixed soon. (And once I hit my current deadline this week, I'll take a look at it myself.) But at the moment, a big caveat for anyone working in the humanities / who uses e.g. Chicago-style footnotes.

Is there anything similar to (or better than) overleaf for collaborating on typst docs? To be clear, overleaf isn’t all that great but I sometimes work with groups that are used to it. Have conferences that traditionally accepted latex source (and specified latex templates) started accepting typst as well?
