Front Door is down for us (as Azure‘s Twitter account confirms)

For the upcoming release, we decided to prioritize print layout and the shortcomings we have there. The release after (think late fall) will focus on HTML and accessible output. The plan is to create a turn-key solution for technical writing, docs, and document automation.

I put the buttons on the bottom so the user would not be overwhelmed by options at the start. Interesting to hear you'd prefer them on top of the table!

Suggesting similar characters would definitely a nice feature, I'll add it for basic cases.

No worries!

Author here: this is the fault of Adobe Acrobat unfortunately. I converted the thesis to PDF/A using that software and redacted my student registration number. Acrobat apparently did not like my file, therefore it converted many pages to images.

You've got mail!

Yes, there will be a template producing equivalently looking (and more accessible) PDFs for Physical Review and the likes.

Yeah, that might be a problem that must be gradually solved through partnerships, outreach, and an eventual community. We already talked to a publishing industry rep about this.

In the meantime, many conferences just want camera-ready PDFs for their proceedings. Additionally, Typst will be useful in a university/lab/research group context and for tech reports right away!

We are targeting PDF and raster graphic output at the moment. Typst is designed to allow HTML export and we do have our eyes on it. At the moment, however, we want to focus on getting PDF export right, including options for standards like PDF/A (archival) and PDF/X (professional print).

ePub is a subset of HTML so the latter would come first.

We will maintain a version history and offer the typical change tracking features, but this will likely be a paid feature for users who join after the beta.
