I have used many things to generate print documents and layouted PDFs:

- Adobe Illustrator - Adobe InDesign - Markdown with and without custom themes - Markdown compiled to .idml to integrate into InDesign - HTML and CSS - LATeX

Typst is so far one of the most enjoyable ways of programmatically generating layouted stuff I ever used.

The only thing missing is a good Desktop editor that allows dumb users to double-click a .typ file and see/edit the file instead of having to setup VSCode, plugins etc.
