Writing HTML, a Typst PDF, and a reveal.js deck from one Quarto source runs into three recurring problems: heading levels, format-specific attributes, and slide breaks. This post shows the three filters I wrote for them, and how they work together on a single document.

great-docs generates an API reference documentation site from a Python package’s docstrings. Shiny for Python serves the interactive app. A Starlette wrapper mounts both at the same origin so one command is all you need.

With a constructor, you get to document/validate. A plain dictionary makes this harder or virtually impossible (you most often will silently fail).

I already drifted apart from ggplot2/plotnine in many ways, I don't mind as long as it's not confusing.

I've opened a GitHub issue about this question (no ansers at this point): https://github.com/mcanouil/gribouille/issues/143

That's fixed in 0.4.0 awaiting approval for Typst Universe (plus other improvements in various areas).

That's still an open question to be honest. Whether or not I should still surface aes() or just drop it in favour of the plain dictionnary. it's indeed not really necessary, but makes it way easier for all ggplot2 (R), plotnine (Python), ggsql (SQL) users to switch or adopt Gribouille in typst.

I do use them to make flyers and other PDF content.

You can see an example on my LinkedIn account I posted last week when travelling (it's in French). https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7472526...

An advanced high quality example: a star-history chart showing 0.3.0 spikes from HackerNews.
