Millions of dollars in time wasted making papers fit journal guidelines

1. typst

   1 148 42,093 9.7 Rust

   A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.

   

   I've been shilling https://typst.app/ to anyone who will listen (and some who won't), it's great.

   There are still missing features compared to latex, but what exists seems so much more intuitive.

   Discontinued Document typesetting configurations using ConTeXt

   KeenWrite Themes[1] are instructions that tell ConTeXt how to typeset XHTML documents (content) into PDF files (presentation). I made a tutorial that shows how my FOSS desktop text editor, KeenWrite[3], allows users to write in Markdown to typeset a document against a particular theme.

   Before it can be used for scientific papers, it needs cross-references, which, unfortunately, aren't part of the CommonMark specification.

   I posit that the vast majority of LaTeX users don't grok how to separate content from presentation. When I asked a question on TeX.SE about how to adjust the line spacing between enumerated items (spanning a couple dozen enumerated lists), the vast majority of people voted for the answer of using `\itemsep0em` to tweak each list ... individually.[4] The correct answer, IMO, is to fix the problem globally, and not waste time tweaking individual lists.
