TWiki to Typst Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
TWiki Markup and Typst Markup exist for different jobs: TWiki is the enterprise wiki markup of TWiki/Foswiki — ---+ headings, %VARIABLES% and inline tables — still running in many corporate intranets. Convert Markdown/Word content into Typst to try the new typesetting toolchain, or bring Typst documents into Word/EPUB pipelines.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the TWiki format
TWiki wrote the book on enterprise wikis in the 2000s — the ---+ heading syntax, %VARIABLES% macros and TML tables spread through corporate intranets and spawned the Foswiki fork. A generation of internal documentation lives in this markup, often on servers nobody dares upgrade.
Migrating those intranets is where TWiki conversion earns its keep: Pandoc reads TML headings, lists, tables and wiki links, and re-emits them as Markdown for Confluence-era platforms or as Word/HTML for frozen archives.
+Strengths
- ✓Purpose-built for structured intranet knowledge
- ✓Macro variables enable templated pages
- ✓Huge installed base in enterprises
!Limitations
- −Enterprise decline after the Foswiki split
- −Variables and plugins rarely survive conversion
- −Legacy tooling only
About the Typst format
Typst is the youngest serious typesetting system: LaTeX-grade output quality with markup as approachable as Markdown, and a compiler fast enough to run in a browser tab. Sets math with $x^2$ syntax, styles with small scripts, and has been adopted rapidly for theses, papers and documentation.
The ecosystem is young, so Typst files often need to leave for Word or EPUB pipelines — and Markdown content often needs to arrive. Conversion in both directions keeps Typst documents interoperable while the toolchain matures.
+Strengths
- ✓LaTeX-quality typesetting, Markdown-level syntax
- ✓Instant compilation with live preview
- ✓Modern scripting for styles and automation
!Limitations
- −Young ecosystem, fewer packages than LaTeX
- −Journals mostly still require LaTeX
- −Spec still evolving between releases
