Moving notes to Typst

I barely know what Typst is. What I do know is that it comes bundled with Quarto (hence Positron/RStudio), requires very little change to my markdown code, yet compiles much, much faster than LaTeX.

With a few tweaks here and there, I migrated the construction site that contains most of the various “notes” I’ve posted to LinkedIn from LaTeX to Typst today. Some Band-Aid code was eliminated and I think the PDFs even look better: Notes and PDFs

More “notes” are here (most with links to PDFs): Blog archive

NoteUpdate - 27 October 2026

The links above now lead to the maintained notes collection and chronological archive. The Quarto sources record the output format for each note in its .qmd file.
