A few months? Years? I know it's already on the roadmap but I find it very hard to make a rough estimate for myself. I want to at least roughly know how much longer I have to deal with LaTeX in obsidian...
#What's the rough timeframe in which we can expect HTML exports?

likely at least several weeks, maybe a few months, as it's not easy to get it right
but for now, pandoc (https://pandoc.org/try/) can make do for simple uses

Woah! A few months is way less than I thought. That's good news. Also thanks for showing me pandoc. I might be able to create an obsidian plugin to use typst with it!
Have to look a bit more into it

Not years, but also not weeks. A few months is a good estimate I think. We are also quite busy with the company, so it's hard to make time for large compiler work. But HTML export is definitely one of the more important things. (Also from a company perspective.)

What kind of company work keeps you busy?

Mostly fundraising at the moment.

@tranquil roost in the meantime, you can check out https://github.com/Myriad-Dreamin/typst.ts -- It outputs svg, which can be embedded in a few of the same contexts as html. It's of course not hte same, but works while we wait for full html support 🙂

We haven’t heard much about HTML export lately, so I’m glad to hear that

typst.ts can generates "responsive" htmls. You can take a look at #old-showcase message . It is pretty much close to html export.

Is that estimate still up to date or has anything changed?

Some fundamental changes must be made before work on HTML export can start and I plan to start work on these soon. I cannot make any promises with regards to HTML export, but I am cautiously optimistic that it itself can be done in 1-2 months once the preliminary work is done. How long the preliminary will take depends a bit on how quickly the design is finished, I plan to write a blog post about some proposed changes in the coming days. The implementation might also take 2 months or something like that. So all in all, it will still take some while.

Can you give us an update on where progress is currently at and what the plan for the next months is?

there are a few rework to do on styling and layout before considering a html export concretely, so you may follow that reworks first and ask it again after them being done.

I can't speak for them, but personally I wouldn't pin any date before Q4 2024, given the current state of things
Is it possible it could come before that? Yeah
But is it something one can guarantee? I find it unlikely

I really don't want to give promises and then not keep them. What I can say is that HTML export is a lot more concretely on my mind recently than it was when I wrote the last message. We are very aware of the importance of it.

Okay. Thanks for the update :)

Once implemented and released, would the web app eventually switch to HTML from PNG?
