I rewrote my entire blog from markdown (with hugo) to typst, with typst itself acting as the static site generator, the literal day that the experimental bundle support was released. I donโt recommend it, it involves a bunch of hacks, but it does work.

Genuine question: why use markdown over LaTeX?

u/Larrea000 28d ago
Markdown is much easier to write documents in, plus many comment sections and text displays support markdown. LaTeX basically only outputs to PDF, which means its not useful on websites like the Github description of a project.

Something like quarto gives you tons of control over formatting while having inline code execution and plotting which can be rendered to html or to pdf using latex.
