What we have planned for Typst.

Roadmap

This page lists planned features for the Typst language, compiler, library and web app. Since priorities and development realities change, this roadmap is not set in stone. Features that are listed here will not necessarily be implemented and features that will be implemented might be missing here. As for bug fixes, this roadmap will only list larger, more fundamental ones.

Are you missing something on the roadmap? Typst relies on your feedback as a user to plan for and prioritize new features. Get started by filing a new issue on GitHub or discuss your feature request with the [community].
