Your documents stay yours – forever. Behind this release there is a global community of contributors. Developers, designers, translators, QA testers, and volunteers from around the world worked together to deliver hundreds of fixes and refinements. Their efforts result in a suite that not only adds features, but also improves quality, consistency, and stability,
no, too much bloat. better off using latex which beats it by far.
Or Typst. I don’t want to learn Typst, but it looks way better than Latex.
I used to maintain my resume in latex. I switched to typist. I vastly prefer it. The syntax is much easier to deal with. It really, to me, feels like a worthy successor
Does it perform as well as (la)tex? Like proper typography and all that nice things
Yes it does. But I would guess it’s not yet as powerful as LaTeX, either, but I couldn’t cite you specific examples.
I had the same idea to write my CV in Latex, but then realized it’s not such a great idea. I wanted to keep it down to 2 pages, so I ended up having to do a lot of manual formatting (font size, margins, spacing), and the whole point of Latex is that you’re supposed to let the typesetter do the formatting for you. So I switched back to Libreoffice.
But if I had a long-form CV, ie. an academic-style CV where you list all publications, conference talks, etc. with no regard to length, then Latex would be ideal for that.
For sure, that’s what I see. I’m just ‘locked in’ with Latex since all my colleagues use it and I’m used to a lot of packages there. At some point I’d like to try Typst out but now is not a good time.
For sure. The cost of switching is high since you’re already embedded in its ecosystem with a team. I last wrote serious latex in college and then just maintained my resume in it out of habit.
