typst is great. I experimented with it, it I simply didn't have the fine-tuning and maturity LaTeX. For example, window/orphan control is a binary on/off, while LaTeX calculates by penalties at a much lower level. Pandoc is also great (I used it often for unrelated workflows), but it can't map custom styles from ODT files (not sure about Word).
- huijzer 4mo agoSeems it’s currently a percentage: https://forum.typst.app/t/how-to-leave-a-single-line-of-paragraph-on-the-previous-next-page-widow-orphan-control/5191 https://forum.typst.app/t/how-to-leave-a-single-line-of-para... On Pandoc I agree. Word custom styles is possible I believe but it will be a mess (as usual with Word).
- ahknight 4mo agoThe funny thing is that you can use both a style template and content template with the DOCX exporter of pandoc and _export_ custom styles. You just can't import them. Works great on my MD -> DOCX/PDF/HTML workflows but not the inverse, alas.
- huijzer 4mo agoIt also makes no sense to go reverse. Maybe practically, but from the Word generated garbage your not gonna get something useful
