Tylax – A bidirectional LaTeX to Typst converter in Rust
Hi HN, author here. I built Tylax because I wanted to migrate my old LaTeX papers to Typst but found existing regex-based scripts too fragile for nested environments. Tylax parses LaTeX into an AST (using mitex-parser) and converts it to Typst code. It supports: - Full document structure (not just math snippets) - Complex math (matrices, integrals) - Experimental TikZ -> CeTZ graphics conversion - Runs in browser via WASM Repo: https://github.com/scipenai/tylax Web Demo: https://convert.silkyai.cn/ Happy to answer any questions!
In plain words
Tylax is a bidirectional converter that transforms LaTeX documents into Typst code. Built in Rust, it parses LaTeX into an abstract syntax tree to handle complex nested structures reliably. The tool converts full document layouts, complex mathematics, and includes experimental support for converting TikZ graphics to CeTZ. It runs in web browsers via WebAssembly, offering both a GitHub repository and an online demo for users migrating between the two document formats.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
