July 13: Typst for Efficient Typesetting
This month we have Derek Sollberger discussing typst, another attempt to unseat LaTeX.
Thank you to NYU for hosting us.
Everybody attending must RSVP through the registration form at nyhackr. There is a charge for in-person and virtual tickets are free.
Space is extremely limited and in-person registration closes at 3 PM the day of the talk.
About the Talk: In this seminar, we will talk about how Typst can be a successor for LaTeX-based workflows for your typesetting needs. We will explore tools for layouts, diagrams, and other design elements through the Typst Universe and Quarto extensions. This presentation will include live demonstrations to introduce you to the wonderful world of Typst!
