    How does Typst compare to something like Asciidoc ? I haven’t found many editors with typst support unfortunately

      It’s not the same use case. Asciidoc is closer to markdown/org/reST, i.e., simple markup languages, whereas Typst also emphasizes on presentation (layouting, element positioning, creation of complex figures, etc.). You can reproduce features from Asciidoc in Typst using scripting.

      As for editors, aside from the official webapp, and the community LSP (tinymist), there aren’t that many available.

        Thanks for explaining. It seems like I had a completely different understanding/exoectation of what typst is.
