How does it work?
-
Write your content as markup with a focus on structure. No distractions.
= Introduction Our concept suggests three ways that A-Mail can be best utilized. - First is to reduce the probability of the failure of a space mission. This problem is known as the Mars problem and suggests problems with human communication. #figure( image("a-mail.svg"), caption: [ Visualization of the FTL Earth-to-Mars comms capabilities enabled by A-Mail. ], ) -
Pick a template, create your own, or just start writing. All the formatting happens automatically.
-
Export as a PDF, image, or a website (in preview), without touching your markup.
A Typst document is more
Different documents have different needs. Typst supports common types of content out of the box while giving you the power to build the rest.
-
Visualizations. No matter whether a Gantt chart or an arrow diagram: Visualizations always stay up-to-date with your data.
-
Mathematics. With beautiful equations as a first-class citizen, Typst is ready for research.
-
Plots and charts. Box plots, contours, paths, or just a bar chart: Pick a package and draw just the right plot for your data.
-
Tables. Write tables by hand or plug in CSVs or JSON. Style them all at once or tweak them individually.
-
Code. Syntax highlighting, line numbers, themes, and callouts. Present code snippets just like in your IDE.
-
Bibliographies. Automatically format citations and references and sync with Zotero or Mendeley.
-
Slides. Take your content straight from the page to a slideshow. You can even present right from the app.
-
Anything else. Your own building blocks: With the integrated scripting features, the only limit is your imagination.
- Write some text.
- Wrap it in underscores to emphasize it.
- For even stronger emphasis, wrap it in stars instead.
- Invoke functions using the hash symbol.
- Customize the text of a link by providing a content argument in square brackets.
It's a breeze to get started
The tutorial sets you up to start writing in less than 30 minutes. And you can learn about advanced topics later in the reference.
Wield limitless power
Fuse content and scripting to make your documents reactive. In the realm of a Typst document, there is nothing you can’t automate.
= Markup <markup>
With built-in syntax for the most common document elements, Typst markup is designed to be pleasant to write and read:
- *Strong* and _normal_ emphasis
- A reference to @markup
- Math: $a, b in { 1/2, sqrt(4 a b) }$
But that's just the surface!
#set heading(numbering: "1.")
#show strong: set text(red)
= Styling
The asterisk syntax is just a shorthand for the `strong` function. And with *set* and *show rules,* you can style that emphasis however you like, separating content from formatting.
= Scripting
Venture to go even further? Typst has powerful embedded scripting features such as conditionals, loops, functions, and methods.
#let count = 8
#let nums = range(1, count + 1)
#let fib(n) = (
if n <= 2 { 1 }
else { fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2) }
)
#align(center, table(
columns: count,
..nums.map(n => $F_#n$),
..nums.map(n => str(fib(n))),
))
= Introspection <introspection>
A Typst document is self-aware! You can find things on the pages, measure their sizes, and more, giving you the tools to build rich automations.
#let find(l) = context [
The element labelled
#raw(repr(l)) is on slide
#locate(l).page().
]
#find(<introspection>)
= Data loading
Want to import some data for a table or plot? Or even generate a full document from a single JSON file? Typst has got you covered.
#for (day, data) in (
"Monday": json("monday.json"),
"Tuesday": json("tuesday.json"),
) [
On #day, the temperature is
#data.temperature~°#data.unit
and it is #highlight(
fill: (
sunny: yellow,
windy: aqua,
).at(data.weather),
data.weather,
).
]
The compiler is a command line tool that turns Typst markup into PDFs, images, and web pages. It forms the basis of the Typst ecosystem, including our collaborative web app.

There are two private packages listed, one with building blocks for product manuals and one drawing plots for a custom data format. Finally, there is an editor with a code snippet that imports the `durability-plot` package and uses it to plot a CSV file.

Owner's Manual
Build and use your own templates and automations, across projects. Once created, a private package can be used just like any package from Typst Universe.
_GlorboCorp_ kindly helped us with the design of A-Mail
envolopes. Their design is rated to withstand percussive stress in the
95th percentile.

+ *AI-Mail Performance*:
AI-Mail demonstrated impressive adaptability
in overcoming delivery obstacles. Notably,
AI-Mail's predictive algorithms successfully
identified and circumvented 98.5% of
potential delivery delays. The system's
ability to resolve interspecies communication
errors was also highly effective, achieving a
97.2% accuracy rate in translating alien
languages, including dialects that had no
known linguistic foundation.

Typst compiles your document in milliseconds as you type, so you can see the effect of your changes right after each keystroke.
Invite your teammates to give you comments right in your markup. Reply in conversations and resolve feedback without leaving Typst.
Shows an error "file not found (searched at glaxy.png)" in the editor with a box with suggestions above. The suggestions include fixing the misspelling and uploading a new file
- Do you want to use an image from your project? Change the string to galaxy.png.
- Do you want to add an image with this name from your computer? Upload it.
- You can also delete this function call and drag and drop an image file into the editor.

Throughout our research, we have encountered several pathways in the
liminal space between galaxies. As can be seen in the image above, these
pathways are often obscured by cosmic dust and other interstellar
phenomena. When you make a mistake, Typst will tell you exactly what went wrong and how to fix it. Many errors come with one-click fixes, so you can get back to writing.
Shows a file explorer with a list of files, including Word, Markdown, LaTeX, and ODT files. Then, there's a modal to drag files into the editor to create a project.
= Appendix E:
In the 2018 patent application, GlorboCorp
engineers described a method for creating a
new type of interstellar communication
device.
Below, you can find the original patent
text, which has been added to this report for
reference.

#let distance(x) = {
calc.pow(x, calc.e * 2) - 299792458.0 * 0.1
}
The loss of information entropy over distance can be modeled using an exponential function. We provide some example values in the table below:
#table(
columns: (auto, 1fr),
[Distance], [Loss of information entropy],
..range(0, 3).map((x) => (
([#x light years], [#distance(x)])
)).flatten(),
)
In a previous revision of this paper, these values had an error of up to 8%. Constants have since been adjusted.commit 8badf00d (origin/main)

- High round-trip times required for communication between Mars and Earth inhibitssuccessful human developments on the planet. In contrast, the delivery speed of
an A-Mail can be determined through this simple formula:
$ v(t) = lim_(t -> oo) integral_t^oo c dot. op sqrt (t^2) dif t $
Are we sure this limit is right? The behavior of t is super weird...
I think we checked during the last team session.
We did. I’ll put some justification in Section 3.
