  • tectonic

    A modernized, complete, self-contained TeX/LaTeX engine, powered by XeTeX and TeXLive.

  • The only thing I've seen is https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but that's an actual re-implementation of TeX Rust.

  • rmarkdown

    Dynamic Documents for R

  • not sure what you mean by this exactly but in my experience its far better to use Markdown + pandoc for stuff like this. Actually I use R Markdown which can compile to either HTML or PDF from the same source document, with executable code chunks embedded (to generate the document contents) ; https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/

  • WeasyPrint

    The awesome document factory

  • Did you try wkhtmltopdf and WeasyPrint, by any chance?

  • WKHTMLToPDF

    Discontinued Convert HTML to PDF using Webkit (QtWebKit)

  • Did you try wkhtmltopdf and WeasyPrint, by any chance?

  • asciimathml

    A new home for asciimathml

  • Math syntax is a bit more challenging, because I'm sure no one wants 12 even if that would make the grammar simpler. Attempts to do this are thin on the ground: as you note, Markdown and other similar tools completely punted on math. AsciiMath is one idea, although not what you want in a full-fledged typesetting language.

  • RusTeX

    A (somewhat experimental) implementation of a TeX engine in rust, used to convert LaTeX documents to xhtml. (by slatex)

  • Maybe you mean RusTex https://github.com/slatex/RusTeX which is a TeX engine written in rust to convert to xhtml. It's mostly used for sTeX https://github.com/slatex/sTeX

  • sTeX

    A semantic Extension of TeX/LaTeX (by slatex)

  • Maybe you mean RusTex https://github.com/slatex/RusTeX which is a TeX engine written in rust to convert to xhtml. It's mostly used for sTeX https://github.com/slatex/sTeX

  • tex-rs

    A port of TeX82 to Rust. (WIP)

  • I have an rust implementation at https://github.com/crlf0710/tex-rs , though it's the plain old TeX without eTeX extensions. Feel free to do any hacking on top of it any one wants to!

  • sidenotes

    Position floating sidenotes/comments next to a document with inline references.

  • sounds a lot like https://curvenote.com/
