typst is great, but there are many many steps between “markdown isn’t sufficient” and reaching for typst.

1. typst only really has pdf output at the moment 2. so much less tooling available (linters, site builders, converters etc) 3. much less of a markup format, extremely tightly coupled to a specific tool (typst compiler)

again, love typst, but it has (atm) so much fewer applications

Typst has already experimental HTML output and it specifically has a markup mode (default mode).

Conceptually Typst is a superset of a Markdown with a slightly different syntax (e.g. = instead of # for headers)
