Show HN: Tylax – A bidirectional LaTeX to Typst converter in Rust
democat Wednesday, January 07, 2026
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

Happy to answer any questions!
