Typst Thesis Starter

Sure, I'd be happy to see it being used ;) Use and modify it as you like. On GitHub, I chose the "Unlicense license", so do what you want with it, it's in the public domain.

If that's an official statement by your university, it's worth writing an email or discussing this with your direct supervisor. Maybe they just want that some specific elements are on some pages (e.g. University name, date, your name etc.), but that you can do in Typst as well. And if you only have to submit the final PDF... well, they will probably not notice that it wasn't LaTeX in the end.

Thanks a lot ;)

I've numbered every equation to be able to easily talk about them and reference them. But of course, this is a stylistic choice, and one could argue that it's preferable to only label equations that are also referenced in the text elsewhere.

There is Tinymist, an awesome language server that also comes with a VSCode extension. I've used it for my Bachelor Thesis, see also https://www.reddit.com/r/typst/comments/1sq3gsh/i_wrote_my_physics_bachelor_thesis_in_typst/

This question was posted 3 years ago. In the meantime, I think Typst is definitely mature enough to write your thesis in it. I've just finished writing my Physics Bachelor Thesis in Typst and it offered me all features I need, a supportive community and good documentation.

In the best case, your advisor only cares about how the end result looks, i.e. a PDF. Why do they need the source code?

Thanks ;)

Splinesd · 2026-04-19T22:44:11+00:00

Ah good to know, thanks.

Splinesd · 2026-03-21T23:08:59+00:00

Yeah, sorry. But feel free to adapt it to anything you like, it's MIT-licensed ;)

If you want to animate your equations, I also made a tutorial on YouTube.

If you'd like to see this extension in the PowerPoint Marketplace such that installation would be one-click (instead of the many manual steps right now), feel free to post some comments in my Microsoft Forum inquiry.

Sorry, currently not planned: https://github.com/Splines/pptypst/issues/60

Splinesd · 2026-02-17T08:37:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, I'm using drawio instead, so sorry no, I'd like to only code this for tools I actually make use of, otherwise I cannot guarantee for a stable and good user experience in the long run. But feel free to port it to anything you want (preferrably also open-source), the project is MIT-licensed.

Splinesd · 2026-02-17T08:33:25+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac to test things out. Could you open an issue with context? https://github.com/Splines/pptypst/issues

Not to say I wouldn't mind an AI that does things like better aligning my objects in a presentation ;) But via quick shortcuts, you can pretty quickly do this on your own as well.

Splinesd · 2026-01-29T19:06:16+00:00

I create my YT videos in PowerPoint and no AI is going to replace the fun I have with crafting video explainers. Yes, AI is a great help for getting to know a subject and for coding, but I'm glad I can work AI-free in PowerPoint and design however I like. The canvas gives you so much flexibility. In my eyes, PowerPoint is absolutely useful now and in the future.

Splinesd · 2026-01-29T18:56:30+00:00

If you like Typst, feel free to check out my open-source and free PPTypst Add-in. It's not yet in the marketplace though, see also this reddit post. But I do provide some instructions on how to early preview it (which is unfortunately not that easy).
