Description Felix Schausberger 2023-06-30 15:25:56 UTC

Description: Typst is a markup-based typesetting system designed to be as powerful as LaTeX but easier to learn and use. It offers built-in markup for common formatting tasks, flexible functions, a tightly integrated scripting system, math typesetting, bibliography management, fast compile times, and friendly error messages.


Reproducible: Always

Hi! This is not really the right avenue for *requesting* packages, the "Package Review" bugzilla component is used for reviewing new packages.

You might want to approach the Rust SIG (me and a few other people interested in maintaining Rust software and bringing more of it to Fedora) about this. Though it looks like this will not be the easiest thing to make available as a package, given that the typst build still pulls in random git snapshots of dependencies ...

Hi! Sorry for any inconveniences caused and I appreciate your quick reply. I understand that typst is still in its early stages, but it would be really cool to have it available more easily on various platforms. I understand that it may not be a straightforward process, but I still wanted to give it a shot. Thanks!
