• AsciidocFX: The Asciidoc Editor for documentation and authoring

  AsciidocFX, is an open-source, cross-platform editor that provides an exceptional user experience and a comprehensive set of features for working with Asciidoc files. Though Asciidoctor provides these capabilities, not everyone will be comfortable enough to work in the commandline or shell setting that's where AsciidocFX comes to the rescue. Let's explore some of the key capabilities that make AsciidocFX stand out. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• I don't always use LaTeX, but when I do, I compile to HTML (2013)

  You have also AsciiDoctor ( https://asciidoctor.org/ ) which is alive and well. I am using it for technical CS documentation internally, but only for single page documents. I did not try to deploy their whole multi-document setup called Antora ( https://antora.org/ ). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Documentation generators and custom syntax highlighting

  I use Asciidoctor, highlightjs, a custom highlight.js language definition and that bash script:. Source: about 1 year ago

• I wish Asciidoc was more popular

  In fact, also this claim is wrong, because there are three :D 1. https://asciidoctor.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Is there a BNF grammar of the TeX language? (2010)

  Typst[1] is another tool which implements document generation from the ground up. Zerodha had a great article [2] how they migrated from LaTeX based pdf generation to Typst, which ended up saving time and compute. [1]: https://typst.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

• LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking

  I have been using Typst[1] for taking notes on machine learning. It's fast (updates are instantaneous). The syntax is almost like Markdown. I tried to learn LaTeX but Typst seems to have an easier learning curve. [1]: https://typst.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking

  I'd personally consider using Typst (https://typst.app) instead of LaTeX. It has a much more readable syntax and you don't need as much snippets to write it. You can use in on their website or run the compiler locally just like LaTeX. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim (2019)

  For writing math notes (especially in vim), I switch to using Typst (https://typst.app). Here's a few points: - The syntax is a lot lighter and easier to type fast. I was up and running in half hour after starting to use it. Once in a while I can look up some symbol name in the docs but that's about it. - Empty document is a valid document. No preambles, no includes etc, it's all optional and the defaults are... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• I don't always use LaTeX, but when I do, I compile to HTML (2013)

  Have you seen typst? I have moved over from LaTex to Typst and most if not all your use cases are covered. https://typst.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
