		goku12 12 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Modern LaTeX What's your alternative?

For personal use, maybe Markdown + pandoc, or Typst for more complex stuff. For academical use I don't think there are any, because everything still revolves around LaTeX. But the lack of alternatives doesn't mean LaTeX is pleasant to use.

I don't find LaTeX too pleasant either. But what is preventing Typst from replacing LaTeX in academia?
