    How does Typst compare to something like Asciidoc ? I haven’t found many editors with typst support unfortunately

      […] I haven’t found many editors with typst support unfortunately

      I’m not sure what you mean — I personally just write it in VS Code [1], and then compile it locally [2].

        I meant a normal note taking application, not text editors or IDEs. I use markor on my Android phone, it has support for Markdown and Asciidoc. Markdown is fine until you need tables.

        I’ve heard from a lot of people how typst is amazing, but found no apps with support for it. Is it because it’s still in development ?

      It’s not the same use case. Asciidoc is closer to markdown/org/reST, i.e., simple markup languages, whereas Typst also emphasizes on presentation (layouting, element positioning, creation of complex figures, etc.). You can reproduce features from Asciidoc in Typst using scripting.

      As for editors, aside from the official webapp, and the community LSP (tinymist), there aren’t that many available.
