typst is great. I experimented with it, it I simply didn't have the fine-tuning and maturity LaTeX. For example, window/orphan control is a binary on/off, while LaTeX calculates by penalties at a much lower level. Pandoc is also great (I used it often for unrelated workflows), but it can't map custom styles from ODT files (not sure about Word).

The funny thing is that you can use both a style template and content template with the DOCX exporter of pandoc and _export_ custom styles. You just can't import them.

Works great on my MD -> DOCX/PDF/HTML workflows but not the inverse, alas.

Seems it’s currently a percentage: https://forum.typst.app/t/how-to-leave-a-single-line-of-para...

On Pandoc I agree. Word custom styles is possible I believe but it will be a mess (as usual with Word).
