I’ve heard of typst before. A light language for better markup sounds great.

LaTex is a dark art and I just repeat basic incantations learned from the elder boards.

But, I cannot bring myself to write docs in a web browser and use web app storage. I have a personality disorder that requires me to use a local text editor for personal use cases.

Also I will buy a perpetual license for software. Like sublime text i just renewed a 3 year license to text+merge.

I get that subscription licensing is better for the dev business but I can’t do it.
