tinytex

Frank Harrell (@f2harrell.bsky.social; 7/1/0; 2026-08-23): I doubt that TinyTeX will handle a book. Typst downloads only packages you need, on demand. Yes a bit unfair comparison but since Typst has its own high level programming language, @typst packages are MUCH smaller. And no need for BibTeX/BibLaTeX/biber for bibliographies. ↪

Barry R (@geospacedman.bsky.social; 2/2/0; 2026-08-23): That’s a bit of an unfair comparison, you know your LaTeX has a heck of a lot more packages, documentation, fonts, formats etc than typst here. Try a basic TinyTeX install? ↪
