alt Hacker NewsWould be interesting to see a compare and contrast between this and Typst, which has gotten a lot of attention recently.
Kinda surprising that it isn't mentioned in their feature comparison matrix at all.

It is mentioned now. Btw, it looks very similar to.
Looking at the "mock" document (https://github.com/iamgio/quarkdown/tree/main/mock) which is supposed to be a comprehensive and detailed guide for all visual elements, I don't see ways of getting anything other than basic markdown tables. How do you get merged cells? Cell formatting? Typst has some nice ways of implementing sophisticated grids and tables.
Also how do you implement things like different page numbering for front matter content and the main content? In general, the "simplicity" of markdown seems to be taking away a lot of granular control that people use LaTeX and Typst for.
