Tell HN: Modern Is Not Better

• pandoc-latex-template

  14 5,801 5.6 TeX

  A pandoc LaTeX template to convert markdown files to PDF or LaTeX.

Really? Should work with any OpenType font. Are you generating in a language that doesn't use roman-ish alphabet? You're not wrong that working with TeX can involve a lot of yak shaving in general. Sometimes finding the right template can solve a lot of problems. I use Eisvogel. https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template

Hmm you can use typst[0], it's modern and, of course, written in Rust.

Joke aside, this look more friendly for devs. I think I will try it the next time I need to write paper-like documentations.
