# Typst ISEC Slides Template Quickstart (CLI): > [!NOTE] > This is temporary and the template will be upstreamed in Typst Universe so > that not a single clone is needed ```sh git clone git@github.com:ecomaikgolf/typst-isec-slides-template.git ~/.local/share/typst/packages/local/definitely-not-isec-slides/ typst init @preview/definitely-not-isec-slides:1.0.0 slides ``` Tested typst version: `0.13.0`. ## Typst ### What's Typst? A modern typesetting system which has: - Milisecond incremental (memoized) builds¹ - Subsecond full builds¹ - Multithreaded builds per pagebreak - Easy rustc-like compiler error messages (and no intermediates!) - Transparent multiple compiler passes (no more mklatex/makefiles) - Simple & powerful scripting and syntax - WebAssembly plugin support (python/js interpreters in your thesis? Sure) Migrating from LaTeX? Check the [migration guide](https://typst.app/docs/guides/guide-for-latex-users/) ¹: This is obviously not a serious benchmark and depends on the document. But it's fast trust me ### Quick usage Start incremental compilations with: ```sh typst watch slides.typ ``` then open the generated PDF: ```sh xdg-open slides.typ ``` Now edit `slides.typ` and it will be incrementally built in each save. Incremental builds are blazingly fast, but regular PDF rendering (on the viewer) is a bottleneck here. Use tinymist with neovim's `:TypstPreview` (or VSCode plugin), which uses the browser to do PDF partial renderings and previews will be even more responsive. No need for running `typst watch` now. It even has features like cursor sync, click to jump, etc. ## Design TODO ## Samples TODO ## License `src/assets/tuglogo.svg` According to Wikipedia: > This logo image consists only of simple geometric shapes or text.
