I was looking for something like this, but would love if it had CV formatted doc. I just want something easy to update, but easier to version control Vs docx.

Nice! But in the Comparison should be MyST - https://mystmd.org/ This is the new markdown standard to be….

Or even Typst (not an extension of Markdown, but it has very similar goals and use cases).

I would really like to see a comparison of all these tools/markup languages:

- MyST

- Pandoc

- Quarkdown

- Quarto

- Typst

Quarto and pandoc both use Pandoc Markdown (and so does https://www.zettlr.com/). But Quarkdown and Typst offer programmable markup languages like LaTeX (or HTML + Javascript). It seems the winner for the title official LaTeX successor is still not decided.

You mean like this? https://github.com/iamgio/quarkdown#comparison

That doesn't include Quarto, which seems like the closest alternative

Consider djot for the comparison list too.

It seems like a well designed and thorough superset of markdown.

On a quick read of the docs I'm a bit worried Quarkdown doesn't have the right evaluation model for the job. Text layout typically iterates to a fixed point, because adjusting the layout of one part of the document can throw out layout at another part, require another layout pass and so on. Typst has the concept of context[1] for this. I didn't see anything in Quarkdown that seemed similar, though perhaps I missed it.

I switched from pandoc / md / LaTex to Typst for my book[2], and have been very happy with it. Programming in a modern language is nice, and Typst is much faster than pandoc + LaTex.

demos look super clean!

I try to support multiple formats on my app: typst, mdx, marp, reveal, latex.

i think it should be possible to add support for quark down too
