Descriptions

Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

Post

Typst

Community Name

Typst

Description

Typst is a typesetting system which includes a full programming language. It markets itself as a competitor to TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc.

Topics

Topics covered would include:

  • The Typst programming language
  • Creation of plugins
  • How-tos for document preparation

Exclusions

These topics or types of posts would be out of scope:

  • Eh, writing advice, probably?

Special Features

Typst code highlighting would be nice.

Overlaps

In principle, this could perhaps be merged with the TeX proposal to create one for document preparation systems, which would then also include SILE and a few others. I'm not at all sure that that's a good idea, but it probably should be considered as an option.

Do you happen to know of other sites that have code highlighting for Typist, or what highlighting packages they use?

TRiG‭ wrote 25 days ago

https://typst.app itself does, of course, but that implements a full language server (as does the Tinymist plugin for VS Code), so it's probably not what we want. I've had a quick search, but I can't find one for websites. I did find a Typst highlighter for Sublime Text.

Thanks TRiG. Typist is new to me, so I didn't know what's out there at all.

TRiG‭ wrote 24 days ago

Aha. https://forum.typst.app/ has code highlighting, at least some of the time. (Some of the code blocks there do; some don't. I'm a little puzzled.)

https://github.com/michidk/typst-grammar seems to be the place to look.
