Presents TeXFix-Bench, a multi-format benchmark for LLM-based document source repair, grounded in a mined fault taxonomy across LaTeX, Typst, and Markdown. Benchmarks seven LLMs with 48,651 attempts, showing compile success alone overstates repair quality.
The author describes building a test suite for their CV PDF to ensure it is parseable by applicant tracking systems, and experimentally checks whether disabling ligatures affects pdftotext output.
A developer shares frustration with traditional word processors and presents an experiment to turn Typst into a WYSIWYG editor optimized for e-ink tablets, leveraging AI to generate templates from descriptions.
Rheo 0.4.0 is an update to a document infrastructure tool that enables multi-format publishing (PDF, HTML, EPUB) from Typst source files.
Typst uses constrained memoization (comemo) and pure function design to make the language and compiler work together, achieving efficient incremental compilation and real-time preview. The article details the design ideas of layout caching, module evaluation memoization, function purity, and the introspection system.
Typst 0.15.0 introduces variable fonts, HTML export with MathML, multi-file export, multiple bibliographies, PDF standards targeting, and many other improvements.
