Changelog

Version 0.11.0 (March 15, 2024)

  • Tables (thanks to @PgBiel)

    • Tables are now much more flexible, read the new table guide to get started
    • Added [table.cell] element for per-cell configuration
    • Cells can now span multiple columns or rows
    • The stroke of individual cells can now be customized
    • The align and inset arguments of the table function now also take {(x, y) => ..} functions
    • Added [table.hline] and [table.vline] for convenient line customization
    • Added [table.header] element for table headers that repeat on every page
    • Added [table.footer] element for table footers that repeat on every page
    • All the new table functionality is also available for grids
    • Fixed gutter-related bugs
  • Templates

    • You can now use template packages to get started with new projects. Click Start from template on the web app's dashboard and choose your preferred template or run the typst init <template> command in the CLI. You can browse the available templates here.
    • Switching templates after the fact has become easier. You can just import a styling function from a different template package.
    • Package authors can now submit their own templates to the package repository. Share a template for a paper, your institution, or an original work to help the community get a head start on their projects.
    • Templates and packages are now organized by category and discipline. Filter packages by either taxonomy in the Start from template wizard. If you are a package author, take a look at the new documentation for categories and disciplines.
  • Context

    • Added context expressions: Read the chapter on [context] to get started
    • With context, you can access settable properties, e.g. {context text.lang} to access the language set via {set text(lang: "..")}
    • The following existing functions have been made contextual: [query], [locate], [measure], [counter.display], [counter.at], [counter.final], [state.at], and [state.final]
    • Added contextual methods [counter.get] and [state.get] to retrieve the value of a counter or state in the current context
    • Added contextual function [here] to retrieve the [location] of the current context
    • The [locate] function now returns the location of a selector's unique match. Its old behavior has been replaced by context expressions and only remains temporarily available for compatibility.
    • The [counter.at] and [state.at] methods are now more flexible: They directly accept any kind of locatable selector with a unique match (e.g. a label) instead of just locations
    • When context is available, [counter.display] now directly returns the result of applying the numbering instead of yielding opaque content. It should not be used anymore without context. (Deprecation planned)
    • The [state.display] function should not be used anymore, use [state.get] instead (Deprecation planned)
    • The location argument of [query], [counter.final], and [state.final] should not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
    • The styles argument of the measure function should not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
    • The [style] function should not be used anymore, use context instead (Deprecation planned)
    • The correct context is now also provided in various other places where it is available, e.g. in show rules, layout callbacks, and numbering functions in the outline
  • Styling

    • Fixed priority of multiple show-set rules: They now apply in the same order as normal set rules would
    • Show-set rules on the same element (e.g. {show heading.where(level: 1): set heading(numbering: "1.")}) now work properly
    • Setting properties on an element within a transformational show rule (e.g. {show heading: it => { set heading(..); it }}) is not supported anymore (previously it also only worked sometimes); use show-set rules instead (Breaking change)
    • Text show rules that match their own output now work properly (e.g. {show "cmd": `cmd`})
    • The elements passed to show rules and returned by queries now contain all fields of their respective element functions rather than just specific ones
    • All settable properties can now be used in where selectors
    • And and or selectors can now be used with show rules
    • Errors within show rules and context expressions are now ignored in all but the last introspection iteration, in line with the behavior of the old [locate]
    • Fixed a bug where document set rules were allowed after content
  • Layout

    • Added reflow argument to rotate and scale which lets them affect the layout
    • Fixed a bug where floating placement or floating figures could end up out of order

  • Parentheses are now included when accepting a function autocompletion

February 2, 2023

  • Merged text and math symbols, renamed a few symbols (including infty to infinity with the alias oo)
  • Fixed missing italic mappings
  • Math italics correction is now applied properly
  • Parentheses now scale in [$zeta(x/2)$]

  • Fixed inconsistency between text and identifiers in math
  • Accents are now ignored when positioning superscripts
  • Fixed vertical alignment in matrices
  • Fixed text set rule in raw show rule
  • Heading and list markers now parse consistently
  • Allow arbitrary math directly in content

Go to the announcement blog post.

  • New expression syntax in markup/math
    • Blocks cannot be directly embedded in markup anymore
    • Like other expressions, they now require a leading hash
    • More expressions available with hash, including literals ([#"string"]) as well as field access and method call without space: [#emoji.face]
  • New import syntax
    • [#import "module.typ"] creates binding named module
    • [#import "module.typ": a, b] or [#import "module.typ": *] to import items
    • [#import emoji: face, turtle] to import from already bound module
  • New symbol handling
    • Removed symbol notation
    • Symbols are now in modules: {sym}, {emoji}, and {math}
    • Math module also reexports all of {sym}
    • Modified through field access, still order-independent
    • Unknown modifiers are not allowed anymore
    • Support for custom symbol definitions with symbol function
    • Symbols now listed in documentation
  • New {math} module
    • Contains all math-related functions
    • Variables and function calls directly in math (without hash) access this module instead of the global scope, but can also access local variables
    • Can be explicitly used in code, e.g. [#set math.vec(delim: "[")]
  • Delimiter matching in math
    • Any opening delimiters matches any closing one
    • When matched, they automatically scale
    • To prevent scaling, escape them
    • To forcibly match two delimiters, use lr function
    • Line breaks may occur between matched delimiters
    • Delimiters may also be unbalanced
    • You can also use the lr function to scale the brackets (or just one bracket) to a specific size manually
  • Multi-line math with alignment
    • The \ character inserts a line break
    • The & character defines an alignment point
    • Alignment points also work for underbraces, vectors, cases, and matrices
    • Multiple alignment points are supported
  • More capable math function calls
    • Function calls directly in math can now take code expressions with hash
    • They can now also take named arguments
    • Within math function calls, semicolons turn preceding arguments to arrays to support matrices: [$mat(1, 2; 3, 4)$]
  • Arbitrary content in math
    • Text, images, and other arbitrary content can now be embedded in math
    • Math now also supports font fallback to support e.g. CJK and emoji
  • More math features
    • New text operators: op function, lim, max, etc.
    • New matrix function: mat
    • New n-ary roots with root function: [$root(3, x)$]
    • New under- and overbraces, -brackets, and -lines
    • New abs and norm functions
    • New shorthands: [|, |], and ||
    • New attach function, overridable attachments with script and limit
    • Manual spacing in math, with h, thin, med, thick and quad
    • Symbols and other content may now be used like a function, e.g. [$zeta(x)$]
    • Added Fira Math font, removed Noto Sans Math font
    • Support for alternative math fonts through [#show math.formula: set text("Fira Math")]
  • More library improvements
    • New calc module, abs, min, max, even, odd and mod moved there
    • New message argument on {assert} function
    • The pairs method on dictionaries now returns an array of length-2 arrays instead of taking a closure
    • The method call {dict.at("key")} now always fails if "key" doesn't exist Previously, it was allowed in assignments. Alternatives are {dict.key = x} and {dict.insert("key", x)}.
  • Smarter editor functionality
    • Autocompletion for local variables
    • Autocompletion for methods available on a value
