Does Typst have epub or html export?

Both are on the roadmap, apparently.

Both have been “on the roadmap” from day 1, with little progress.

Many open source projects put “we should make our system accessible to disabled vision issues” on the roadmap, depressingly few projects then actually do it.

Even latex, which in academic circles is famous for not having html output, nowadays produces more accessible output than typist.

You are right that it's been on the roadmap for a while, however, it's definitely very high on their priority list. The recent update (v0.12) contained a lot of necessary internal refactorings of the layout engine, and they've mentioned on the Discord that after v0.12, they will start work on HTML output.

I really hope so, and I will start recommending typst when there is good accessible output.

However, it’s also been a “top priority” since basically the first release.

The issue is a bit more than a year old.

Feel free to step up and close it. Complaining about it isn't going to add velocity to a new project.

Adding accessibility to every open source project which neglected it would take a team of thousands.

I work on accessibility on the open source programs I already contribute to.
