I had originally dismissed Typst, since at first glance it seemed like some closed online-only tool. But actually there's solutions such as Typstify[1] which works offline, haven't tried it yet but seemed promising.

Typst is open source. It can be used as a cli tool https://github.com/typst/typst


There's also an LSP (Tinymist.) My Typst workflow is all local in VSCode, with the source markup in the left pane and a live preview on the right.


Is the format "open" as well?


I’m curious what you mean. It’s a language with an open source implementation.

Others can and do implement parts of the language - e.g. Pandoc implements a parser and evaluates Typst.
