Typst is a markup-based typesetting system that compiles documents to PDF, similar to LaTeX but with a more approachable syntax and faster compilation. Developers use it to build documents programmatically, create custom templates, or integrate document generation into applications. It's particularly useful for technical documentation, reports, and academic papers where you want fine-grained control over layout without the complexity of traditional typesetting systems.
