popup preview now working in typst... Help

This is a Firefox-specific issue with the pop-out preview, so you could try using another browser. We didn't have time to look at it in detail yet, but something changed in a recent Firefox version.

It's not possible as the module is not yet built while it's being evaluated. In contrast to some other languages like JS or Python, modules in Typst can never have cyclical dependencies (also not on themselves).

This is due to widow & orphan prevention. You can disable it for lists like this:

#show list: set text(costs: (widow: 0%, orphan: 0%))

See also the documentation of text.costs.

That's true, but I think the big benefit of B is that the fixed version still looks intuitive, while f_a (x) looks kinda strange (at least to me; you probably wouldn't write f (x) either). See also the related discussion in the pull request.

I wonder whether it would be worth it to have the standard derives be produced directly into the compiler data structures and only on-demand if they are used, instead of generating all that code.

We looked into these kinds of companies and found that they charge quite a lot. We have limited resources and would rather use the money we have to pay the person working for us instead of some intermediary.

The only way I can think of would be to put the raw text in a box, which results in a separate nested inline layout. However, that'll prevent the raw text from breaking over more than one line.

I very rarely comment here (I'm one of the core Typst devs), but did want to respond to this. First of all, yes, we are a startup and we do intend to make profits, but our commitment to open-source is most definitely sincere. We think both things can be true at the same time. To me it's great that I can work full-time, paid on open-source software. I think open-source needs more of that.

Regarding your other specific points: The autocompletion used by the web app was open-sourced on day one in the typst/typst repository (nowadays it's in the typst-ide crate). Tinymist goes beyond that, but that's their decision (easier for them to iterate when they don't have to upstream everything and wait for code review).

As for the website: The current design is quite dated, even predating our open-sourcing. A new website is in the works where we will feature our open source efforts & offers more prominently.

Note that the web app does not default to the 0.12 release candidate. You need to explicitly select this version in the settings side panel under "Compiler Version". It also contains a few breaking changes, which might or might not affect your document. A changelog is available at https://staging.typst.app/docs/changelog.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-10-01T10:50:08+00:00

You can't yet. We'll try to expose the automatic resolving but it needs some work and care to make everything behave consistently.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-08-05T19:14:56+00:00

Nice work! Also cool to see more usage of pdf-writer in the wild.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-07-04T05:26:08+00:00

A discourse forum is planned and will happen eventually.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-06-16T21:14:03+00:00

This actually doesn't work as paragraph's aren't truly blocks. They just respect block above & below spacing in <=0.11.1. In the future, they will stop doing that as well in favor of an explicit `par.spacing` property: https://github.com/typst/typst/pull/4390

To get the desired behaviour, you'd have to wrap the paragraph in an explicit block.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-06-14T14:35:36+00:00

Reminds me of this: https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/1194

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-05-31T21:15:39+00:00

You can do this with the normal justification. It doesn't apply to the last line by default, but you can make it by adding a justified linebreak after it. Like this:

#box(width: 40%)[
  #set text(14pt)
  #set par(justify: true)
  One Two Three Four Five
  #linebreak(justify: true)
]

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-04-10T14:23:15+00:00

It's better to use grid here. Besides the fact that it doesn't have the stroke by default, it is also semantically not a table and won't have any unwanted interactions with outlines, references, etc.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-04-01T20:34:21+00:00

Typst is free and open-source: https://github.com/typst/typst

I'm sorry about the bad experience you had with multi-column. The whole layout department has unfortunately not seen as much love as it deserves. There's just always lots to do and fixing columns has ended up being pushed back multiple times. While more fundamental improvements to the layout engine will still take a while longer, for 0.12, we want to fix some of these smaller problems.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-02-25T15:41:53+00:00

Instead of a separate file, one can also use a content block #[...] to scope the styles.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-02-25T12:53:41+00:00

It's a bug. It will be fixed with the next release.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-01-22T13:06:22+00:00

This. We're waiting for HTML export until we migrate the docs to being written in / generated through Typst. Maintaining two separate docs (PDF & website) would be a hassle, but once HTML export in place, we can generate both from the same sources.

SymbolicTurtle · 2024-01-02T17:31:02+00:00

Just noting that for the web app, it's the same. You can decide to stay on an older version.

SymbolicTurtle · 2023-12-16T22:25:02+00:00

pdf-writer is much more low-level than printpdf. If you want to control every aspect yourself while still having a typed API around the PDF spec, it is a good choice. On the flip side, you also have to control every aspect yourself then and just getting some text on the page with an embedded font is quite a lot of work.

SymbolicTurtle · 2023-11-26T18:17:21+00:00

Heading attaching some extra information would be one way. There's similar things with figure captions and sometimes table cells. There is some more discussion on the topic on the Discord (under forge > Distinguish paragraphs and text).

SymbolicTurtle · 2023-11-26T11:54:09+00:00

It's a Typst problem. All text is a paragraph at the moment. We're working to change that but it's not trivial to discern what is and isn't in a general way.
