    What’s “custom layout tables”? Anyway, I now only play https://typst.app card, because I don’t use LO Writer anymore, only LO Calc for some stuff. Typst has a ton of scripting capability and granular customization, so it will probably beat your “custom layout tables” by a mile kilometer!

    Typst is the future for document creation. Mark my words.

      You based chad. Typst is absolutely awesome. It made me ditch Libreoffice and LaTeX at the same time. Haven’t looked back since then.

        Glad you’ve made the switch! If you want, you can hop into the discord server.

          I’m sorry but discord is a nogo for me. I’m already in the matrix room so feel free to join, we could use some more discussion ;)

            Matrix room? Where? There is no official Matrix space.

            I agree, I hate discord, but that’s where everybody is messaging, including authors. BTW, we had a “community call” a few days ago in the discord. It’s a monthly thing.

      Do you know of any Google xcel alternatives? Something that still allows public viewing, and collaborative editing?

        No, but you can allow read only access to your document on typst.app and you can collaborate with it too.

        I don’t know of any public ones, but you can always host your own copy of Collabora with an instance of Next cloud.
