This turns out to be slightly longer than I thought, but still manageable. I think I'm getting the right balance, but if anything is too technical we can take it out.

It's still missing an experience / what to expect section - I realized I had to run the experiment in order to write the blog post, so I stopped there. Here are results of running all LaTeX and Typst tests with QUARTO_PDF_STANDARD.

I need to dig a little deeper but at first glance I would summarize as Typst will solve almost everything except for needing alt text/caption and title, but in LaTeX you need to be more careful.

I think the blog post should also paraphrase the section called Accessibility Requirements here:

https://prerelease.quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst.html#accessibility-requirements

which is a list of ways that quarto and markdown automatically fill in a lot of what you need for accessibility.
