Another markup language?
I think I prefer markdown or asciidoc...
typst is a simpler alternative to latex and has a simple markdown-like grammar. I propose we use this in some nostr science longform spec. It’s super fast too!
Discussion
this is specifically for papers. markdown or asciidoc doesn’t provide any tools for equations, etc. they just rely on latex which is a can of worms. Its nice to have a simpler canonical format for that
Okay, I can see that is a niche for a more accessible tool. As a computer guy I like LaTeX, but I can see it is not for everyone.
And anything that steers people away from writing papers in Word is good 😃
