typst(9)

SYNOPSIS

typ, typst - Typst Markup File.

FILES

hktypst.emf - Typst file hook definition
typst.eaf - Typst abbreviation file
typst.etf - Typst template file

EXTENSIONS

.typ, .typst, .ttyp, .ttypst - Typst files

DESCRIPTION

The Typst file hook provides a editing environment for Typst files. The file hook provides highlighting, folding of section, document outline using item-list and abbreviations. Fenced code blocks within triple backticks can be highlighted using the declared code block language.

File recognition is performed using the standard file extension .typ, .typst or the extensions .ttyp and .ttypst. The latter two file extensions indicate there are non-Typst based extensions for instance to embed code of other programming languages like R or Tcl within the file which needs to be processed with tools like tmdoc before the document can be compiled with the Typst compiler.

Abbreviations


The installation comes with a default abbreviation file for Typst code editing which can be used by writing short abbreviations like "fig" for a figure environment, "bib" for a bibliography file, "img" for an image file, or "co" for a code chunk - and then pressing the key-binding for the expand-abbrev-handle(3) command. The list of abbreviations can be used interactively in the GUI version of MicroEmacs using the abbrev-list(3) command.

Folding and Information Hiding


Generic folding is enabled within the Typst files. The folds occur about the level 1 and 2 headers, so headers with one or two equal symbols at the beginning of a line. The following commands are supported to show and hide the function bodies. collapse-all(3) (un)folds all regions in the file, collapse-current(3) (un)folds the current region.

List Items


Item listing is available and the level 1 and 2 headers of the file are displayed in the item-list.

Short Cuts


The short cut keys used within the buffer are:

C-c C-c - Comment out the current line.
C-c C-d - Uncomment the current line.
f2 - (un)fold the current region
f3 - (un)fold all regions
f6 - list items
esc f6 - close list items

Code Chunk Highlighting


Inside code chunks as well syntax hilghlighting for a few programming languages like Tcl (tcl), R (r), GraphViz Dot (dot), Python (py), SQL (sql), MicroEmacs macro code (emf)or Javascript (js) is available. Here an example which should be highlighted within a Typst file using the R file hook:

```r 
x = 1 
test = function () { 
    print("Test") 
} 
```
