honze<p>Ich überlege immer wieder, ob ich das klassische DnD Design für meine selbst geschriebenen Inhalte über Bord werfen soll. Das sieht als PDF ganz nett aus, aber ich hätte gerne etwas moderneres, das sich auch einfacher drucken lässt. Nicht jeder Drucker kann randlos und nicht jeder will so viel Farbe drucken.</p><p>Technisch ist das nicht wirklich ein Problem. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/typst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>typst</span></a> ist so flexibel, dass man da fast alles machen kann.</p><p>Neuere offizielle Abenteuer für DnD haben einen fast weißen Hintergrund und viel Pastellfarben in der Designsprache. Wäre interessant das neue Design für die 2024er Bücher mal zu sehen. (Also falls jemand da was hätte... 😉)</p><p>Natürlich kann ich mir eine eigene Designsprache überlegen. Ich habe mich ja auch an den Charakterbogen getraut.</p><p>Man könnte eventuell auch einen gegnerischen TTRPG Stil entwerfen. Vielleicht etwas viel, aber bestimmt machbar. </p><p>Die Frage ist: Was wollt ihr denn? Gibt es etwas, das ihr gut findet und nicht missen wollt? Gibt es Dinge, die stören?</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pnpde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pnpde</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dnd</span></a></p>

Thomas Kahle<p>Taking some notes in <a href="https://machteburch.social/tags/typst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>typst</span></a> today and starting to pay attention to details. I'm at this point where I know how to realize some things in typst, but then discover that I don't know how I exactly want them. For example, how do I actually want the spacing around the colon in a definition of a map?</p><p>This looks too close to the phi or not?</p><p>If you are anwering, please do so without using \colon in LaTeX and looking how it is there. Try to answer from first principles.</p>

Jason J.G. WhiteI'm interested in experimenting with Typst. There's a sample document that I would like to convert to Typst: title, author's name, table of contents, numbered sections, paragraphs and lists are most of the elements.<br><br>Is there a template that I should use, similar to the LaTeX article class? I've reviewd Typst templates on GitHub, but I haven't found one suitable for such a basic document.<br><br>My plan is to use someone else's typographic design so that I can concentrate on the content, leaving formatting decisions to the designers. As an author who happens to be blind, I find it convenient when someone else takes care of presentational details.<br><br>Support for HTML output is available as a "preview" currently, but it is likely to improve in later releases. My intention is to produce both HTML and PDF from the same source. If Typst continues to mature rapidly, I'll probably write research papers in it also.<br><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.jasonjgw.net/tag/typst" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Typst</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.jasonjgw.net/tag/markuplanguage" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarkupLanguage</a>
