    I love this use of wasm!<p>I never really got the hang of LaTeX but I&#x27;ve really enjoyed Typst the past few years and even made a few books with it. Have you ever tried that or have thought on it?

    I copy-pasted a random LaTeX doc from many years ago (I made sure I wrote it before 2020 so it did not use any new features not in TeX Live 2020), and upon compilation I got the error<p><pre><code> Font OT1&#x2F;cmr&#x2F;m&#x2F;n&#x2F;10.95=cmr10 at 10.95pt not loadable: Bad metric (TFM) file. </code></pre> on line 13017. The document had only 200 lines so this must be from a package. It was really not clear where the error was coming from. I guessed that it was coming from \usepackage{microtype}, so I commented it out, but the same error persisted.<p>I decided to hard refresh the tab and this time I got a different error:<p><pre><code> TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [text input levels=15]. </code></pre> on line 39. Again it was unclear line 39 of which package.

    Does this work on Firefox or Safari? You say “Firefox or Safari fall back to a virtual filesystem” but somehow I can’t get this fallback to work. When I click New Project I just get a reminder to use Chrome or Edge. Is there a button to press to trigger the fallback?

      I&#x27;m on Safari, and it seems you can open your local LaTeX file to use the tool. It&#x27;s an “Open file” button at the top.<p>Although I agree that it would be cool to have some hello-world example pre-opened.

    Anyone know if this includes TikZ?

    This is super cool. I wish there was something like this for ConTeXt too.

      My project <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;latex.to" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;latex.to</a> supports ConTeXt (plus all other TeX Live engines). Click + then New from showcase then ConTeXt to try it.

      I wrote a Markdown -&gt; ConTeXt -&gt; PDF editor that may interest you.<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keenwrite.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keenwrite.com&#x2F;</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keenwrite.com&#x2F;screenshots.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keenwrite.com&#x2F;screenshots.html</a>

        Interesting. I usually use pandoc for converting my Markdown, which goes via LaTeX. Is there a specific reason you picked ConTeXt?
