I've been saving Markdown transcripts of my more involved AI chats, and I was unhappy with how any tool rendered to PDF. In either Cursor or Windsurf, I had Claude 3.5 Sonnet code a Ruby script for me that converts Markdown to Typst, a LaTeX alternative that looks a lot like Markdown. Typst offers beautiful formatting control for the output PDFs.

In your opinion, does Typst male better pdfs than LaTex and if so, why?
