LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?

1. tectonic

   1 23 4,042 8.2 C

   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.

3. rmarkdown

   2 40 2,896 7.2 R

   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/

4. WeasyPrint

   3 46 7,386 9.5 Python

   The awesome document factory

   

   Did you try wkhtmltopdf and WeasyPrint, by any chance?

5. WKHTMLToPDF

   4 57 12,952 4.3 C++

   Discontinued Convert HTML to PDF using Webkit (QtWebKit)

6. asciimathml

   5 11 968 0.0 JavaScript

   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.

7. RusTeX

   6 1 26 6.2 HTML

   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

8. sTeX

   7 1 51 7.3 TeX

   A semantic Extension of TeX/LaTeX (by slatex)

9. tex-rs

   8 2 34 3.6 Rust

   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!

10. sidenotes

    9 27 50 0.0 TypeScript

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

    

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