The #TeXLive 2026 pretest has started. I activated the pretest builds within our #IslandOfTeX #docker images yesterday. So in case you want to help testing wthout killing/replacing your local installation feel free to use those. e.g. the full image is available via:registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:pretest-fullRebuild will happen daily to keep you up to date.Thanks for helping!#TeXLaTeXMore Information on the pretest can be found at https://www.tug.org/texlive/pretest.html

I think this is the first time I used #Typst “in production,” namely to produce the final version of my three-page abstract for #UndoneCS.#TeXLaTeX needs 4.81 s to produce a PDF. Well, this is with XeTeX; it’s recommended that you use LuaTeX now, so make this 6.44 s.Typst needs 1.18 s (M1 MacBook Air, otherwise identical #Pandoc pipeline).I’m more motivated than ever to add Typst support to my little pandoc-lecturenotes package, so that I can start the new semester without LaTeX!

@tajpulo Na ja, wenigstens die Konventionen fürs Layout hätten die Entwickler von textile oder Markdown übernehmen können. Dann wären viele Dokumente sofort portabel ohne Anpassung.
