Typst to Markdown

Typst to Markdown keeps the words and the basic structure of a Typst draft and drops the page design. The result is plain text that a wiki, a repository, or a Markdown editor can use.

Use it when

• the writing matters more than the page layout;
• you are moving notes or a draft into a Markdown system;
• a collaborator wants a simple source without Typst.

Stay in Typst when templates, show rules, or exact page design are part of the result.

Convert a draft

1. Open Typst to Markdown, or run /typst-to-markdown.
2. Paste a Typst fragment or a complete document, or choose Load example.
3. Choose Convert.
4. Read the Markdown result.
5. Copy it, save converted.md, or choose Create project to open it as a Markdown project.

For example:

= Method
We minimize $L(theta)$ with two constraints.
- Bounded error
- Stable updates

becomes a Markdown heading, a paragraph with dollar-delimited math, and a bullet list.

What needs a second look

The bundled Pandoc converts the source on your device. Headings, emphasis, links, lists, code, and common math usually map cleanly. Typst functions, #let definitions, show and set rules, packages, and figures with custom layout may not.

Check math delimiters, image paths, footnotes, references, and tables afterwards. To export a whole Typst project as Markdown, use the project’s Export menu, which keeps more equations and references. Export and convert a project covers it.

For the other direction, use Markdown to Typst. For a word-processing handoff, use Typst to Word.
