TeX and Typst: Layout Models (2024) (laurmaedje.github.io)

While Typst adopts parts of TeX’s model, in particular the paragraph layout algorithm, there are also significant differences. Most of these are related to block-level layout — things like line placement, widow & orphan prevention, tables, and floats.
