This release has been a long time coming, and contains so much work from the team and everyone in the community, congrats!
Especially notable is the transition of Typst's docs to Typst themselves, which enables releasing the 0.15 docs as a PDF.
Although the feature I've been working hardest on for Typst, refactoring the math syntax with @laurmaedje, is still ongoing :'). But with the new support for syntax warnings and sub-ranges on nodes, it should make it into the next one!
Is mathml supposed to Just Work? I downloaded the binary from github releases and it still exports my $$ fragment to <svg> (with the bonus being that the svg element no longer has the typst-frame class so I can't invert it in dark mode...)
Yeah, MathML should just work. Typst never turned equations into SVGs automatically, so you probably still have a show rule somewhere that you need to remove.
Just digging into typst having never reallly been aware of what it is / does. This is actually way cooler than I expected. I'd binned it in my brain as a latex replacement for nerds, but taking a read around the tutorial content it feels like it's got the makings of a markdow/asciidoc/cms/obsidian/microsoft word/... replacement due to how simple the pieces seem to be. It feels like the essence of editable text as a machine readable model done right. Just a first impression, but very interesting I think.
MathML and bundles are really exciting for Typst-as-an-SSG usecase. I would also love globbing and some way to shell out for asset preprocessing (e.g. font subsetting, image resizing, graph generation), but even 0.15 might be enough to get me to try moving my blog
I'm working on something with sources in external third-party files that I want to go along my main document. Basically, I'm quoting various files that I must bundle in my output. The bundle feature looks like what I needed. :)
Words cannot express how happy I am to see the MathML HTML support! This is what I've been waiting for since Typst started!
I love to see variable font support!
As a non-designer who doesn't have a great intuition of what to look for, "Is it variable?" is one of my proxies for, "Does this seem like a well designed font?" As a side effect, I ended up with a lot of variable fonts that I wanted to use but that were awkward to use in Typst.
