The TU Delft Demonstration Laboratory team built an impressive 850+ page book documenting over 250 physics demonstrations using the MyST Document Engine and the new plain_typst_book template. The pdf serves multiple practical needs: plagiarism scanning, copyright checking, and providing a high-quality PDF alongside their website for reading (which is a common best-practice for multi-page websites).
Website and PDF in one go¶
It’s a good example how the MyST engine can build multiple types of outputs from the same document model.

Their PDF build is here
And importantly: PDF generation took only seconds, even for this 850+ page document!
They did this by using the plain_typst_book template which uses Typst, a modern typesetting system that’s fast and flexible.
