@tomjennings And the design of HP alculator keys is unique.

@vindarel The cover image and some of the screenshots are significantly pixelated but other than that the document looks good and works with the PDF viewers I tested it with.

What Typst book template did you use?

@kirtai Really? I didn't know, cool.

@codebergstatus I was eventually able to post with no errors.

@codebergstatus For the past hour or so I've been getting ! server error: 500 when replying to an issue of a repo. Any lingering issues? The status page reports occasional short interruptions.
