Well maybe it’s good to make it clear that it isn’t markdown to avoid confusion? Also Typst has less syntactic sugar which also has benefits.

More generally, I am really impressed by Typst’s abstractions. I have typset my whole PhD thesis in it without needing any external packages. It was so easy to use the basic building blocks and write a few extra functions for the rest.

Is your template/source available by chance?
Great thesis on an interesting topic. I’m always a fan of good model explainability.

What did you use to generate the attractive and clear svgs?

Thank you for the kind words.

The plots were all created with Makie.jl [1] and lots of fiddling and manually writing code to get things right. Although I think Makie is great, I guess it would also be possible with other plotting libraries.
