Behold the holy Grail of text structuring and formatting (as long as you don't want to deal with LaTeX): orgmode
The orgmode site doesn't display properly on my phone. I can't even scroll horizontally to read the text. ๐
Typst, Perchance
I need to get into Typst. Been hearing about it a lot for a good while.
I checked Typst out a bit. It couldn't do a specific, niche thing I want to do but in general it felt really nice. Definitely feels newer than LaTeX and with less technical debt/baggage. A bit more limited but still nice
And for some reason it seems there's no community for Typst on Threadiverse
Thank you for sharing! I haven't even looked at it yet โ I imagine it's like a supercharged Markdown, with ways to interlink documents and that kind of jazz? Am I way off?
I'd rather say it's a cross between the two. Because most of the text is written like MD but then it does have document settings and tables look like in LaTeX
Looks beautiful, wow. Very simple. I so wish I had this through my uni days. LaTeX was pretty powerful but it was pretty painful sometimes as well.
emacs heretic! begone from this place!
It is absolutely worth it learning it.
how do i use emacs without vim emulation
If you want your vim keybindings inside emacs you can use evil mode
no, I meant how do I get used to using emacs without vim emulation in emacs (like evil)
Just start using it? Watch some tutorials for the basic keybindings, copy a config from someone else and try to understand what's going on and from there on you can start building your own config. Theres also a ton of information available on how to do specific things.
