In the near future, I'll have to program the document generation part of an invoicing system.

In the past, I've done generated PDF documents through latex, and didn't really like the process (for one, escaping is just so weird in latex, \ to \textbackslash for example).

I've thought about generating HTML and using a headless browser that can produce PDFs for me, but I don't know how well you can e.g. control page breaks with CSS these days.

Maybe typst is actually a good alternative here? Does anybody have experience with typst and multi-page tables?
