Typst is a new markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use

Typst is awesome, in particular if you want to generate documents programmatically.

    DUDE!

    You are the man!

    I did know it was built in rust but never realized I could also use it as a library!

      Yeah I was very happy to find that out. I was calling latex externally before, and there was a lot of pain interacting with the filesystem and temporary files. Now it all happens in-memory :)

        Exactly the same. Kicking of the binary now, but library could solve a lot of the security issues I was worried about.
