I have been planning to put out a quarterly Sanskrit newsletter for some time now, and was dreading having to deal with LaTeX. For basic stuff, LibreOffice PDF export works. But that is not a plain text workflow.

I then discovered typst and it is a breath of fresh air. Unicode/Dēvanāgarī support out-of-the-box, no installing gigabytes of packages, near-instant compilation.

My complements to those who got this done.



Where can we sign up for the newsletter?


I will post it on our website as well as reddit when it is ready. I am taking my time to ensure that it does not become a one-off thing and can continue for many quarters.
