• 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 / 4 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 / 4 months ago

• Htmldocs: Typeset and Generate PDFs with HTML/CSS

  How does this compare to Typst?[1] What I like about Typst is that I can use it completely offline and with my editor of choice. Is this planned for htmldocs too? [1] https://typst.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Is there an alternative to learning Latex for publishing research papers?

  You can use LyX. LyX self-describes as a What You See is What You Mean editor, basically a fully graphical editor for writing LaTeX. Source: about 1 year ago

• Math and Science People: How do you write equations / proofs?

  Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian. Source: about 1 year ago

• VSCode vs Texifier (formerly texpad)

  I like LyX. It's not for everyone, but damn it can be effective. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best offline editor/compiler

  An upopular opinion perhaps, but I'm a huge fan of the WYSIWYM editor LyX. Source: over 1 year ago

• Adding custom words to the dictionary LINUX

  I don't think LyX devs will notice your point here, alas. You could consider writing an email to the devs email list found on lyx.org. Source: over 1 year ago
