Is it possible to export to TeX for journal submissions?

Folks,

I have a question about whether it is possible to generate tex format for journal submissions if using Typst. I didn’t find .tex as a exportable format in the Typst help documents.

An exemplar submission format requirements from one of the leading journals in my field: “Save files in an editable format, using the extension .doc/.docx for Word files and .tex for LaTeX files. A PDF is not an acceptable source file.”

I really enjoy using Typst, but when it comes to the phase of submission, it seems I’ll have to switch back to LaTex? Or there must be a way out! Thank you for help!

Best,
Wenbo

I don’t think there is a good (robust) way to achieve good (readable) .tex output.

You might be successful using Pandoc, which claims to support conversions from/to Typst and from/to LaTeX, but I haven’t tried it.

You might be able to convince the journal to accept Typst files though, which would be the best outcome imo.

The tinymist VS Code extension is also capable of exporting to TeX. The feature is currently in early development, and I haven’t used it before.
