Does typst support the standard Tex math notation? I understand that a lot of effort went into doing math different - and probably better - than Tex, but I'm just very used to the Tex notation.


It doesn't, which IMO was a stupid decision. TeX math notation isn't even that bad, and making Typst compatible with it would've gone a long way towards adoption. It's currently unusable for me because in order to actually use it for something I need to first find time to re-learn everything.
