+# Tutorial
+Welcome to Typst's tutorial! In this tutorial, you will learn how to write and
+format documents in Typst. We will start with everyday tasks and gradually
+introduce more advanced features. This tutorial does not assume prior knowledge
+of Typst, other Markup languages, or programming. We do assume that you know how
+to edit a text file.
+
+The best way to start is to open the Typst app and follow along with the
+steps below. Do not have preview access yet?
+[Sign up for the wait list](https://typst.app).
+
+## When to use Typst
+Before we get started, let's check what Typst is and when to use it. Typst is a
+markup language for typesetting documents. It is designed to be easy to learn,
+fast, and versatile. Typst takes text files with markup in them and outputs
+PDFs.
+
+Typst is a good choice for writing any long form text such as essays, articles,
+scientific papers, books, reports, and homework assignments. Moreover, Typst is
+a great fit for any documents containing mathematical notation, such as papers
+in the math, physics, and engineering fields. Finally, due to its strong styling
+and automation features, it is an excellent choice for any set of documents that
+share a common style, such as a book series.
+
+## How to get access to Typst
+Starting December 26th, 2022, we are conducting a closed infrastructure test
+into which we invite a small number of people from our wait list. A few months
+later we will start a public beta of our web app and open source Typst
+(currently planned for March of 2023).
+
+At that point, we will also give you the option to download a local command line
+compiler for Typst. This way, you can always compile your documents
+independently from our web app. Still, the web app offers many useful feature
+like live preview, autocompletion and collaboration for teams.
+
+## What you will learn
+This tutorial has four chapters. Each chapter builds on the previous one. Here is
+what you will learn in each of them:
+
+1. [Writing in Typst:]($tutorial/writing-in-typst) Learn how to write text and
+   insert images, equations, and other elements.
+2. [Formatting:]($tutorial/formatting) Learn how to adjust the formatting
+   of your document, including font size, heading styles, and more.
+3. [Advanced Styling:]($tutorial/advanced-styling) Create a complex page
+   layout for a scientific paper with typographic features such as an author
+   list and run-in headings.
+4. [Making a Template:]($tutorial/making-a-template) Build a reusable template
+   from the paper you created in the previous chapter.
+
+We hope you'll enjoy Typst!
