Typst

Standalone .typ (Typst) files get the same 3-mode view (Editor / Split / Preview) as Markdown, rendered off-thread by the external typst CLI as a multi-page stack, one image per page.

The last good render stays on screen as you edit, without flicker, and a compile error keeps the pages visible under a small banner. Zoom resizes the pages.

Editing

Typst files get Markdown-style ergonomics:

• Enter continues a - / + / N. list.
• Selecting text pops a format bar (bold *, emphasis _, raw `, link, bullet, heading), with matching right-click and palette actions (typst.bold, typst.emph, typst.raw, typst.link, typst.bulletList, typst.headingPromote / Demote).
• Insert a table, image, or table of contents (typst.insertTable, typst.insertImage, typst.outline).
• Bundled snippets cover figures, tables, and more.

Code intelligence comes from the tinymist language server (enable the LSP feature and install tinymist).

Editing actions are grouped under a single Typst submenu in the editor’s right-click menu. Listed flat, the eight entries would push cut, copy, paste and the spelling suggestions well down the menu. Run and Debug stay at the top level, because they are the two entries people reach for without reading the menu.

Structure and folding

A .typ file folds and outlines by section. Headings (=, ==, …) drive both, so the Structure window reads as the document’s own table of contents and a section collapses like one. Folding at #align / #table brackets still works alongside it, and a long embedded listing collapses at its ``` fence, which is usually the thing you most want out of the way.

#let and #show bindings join the outline in document order, each nested under the section it is written in (one above the first heading stays at the root). A template file can be almost entirely bindings, and an outline of headings alone would leave such a file with an empty Structure window.

Three forms are left out, because each would add noise to the outline:

• #set, which configures the document rather than defining anything. A run of #set page / #set text would top most files.
• An indented #let, inside a function body, naming something that means nothing outside it.
• Destructuring and #show: forms, which name nothing you could jump to.

The parser has to tell a section marker from every other = in a Typst file (an assignment in #let x = 1, an equality inside math, a rule of = characters) and from anything written inside a raw block, a line comment or one of Typst’s nesting block comments. Folding and the outline share one parser, so the two surfaces cannot disagree about where a section begins.

Export

Export the document with typst.export: PDF (a native single file), PNG, or SVG (also typst.exportPng / typst.exportSvg). Printing paginates the pages.

PNG and SVG write one file per page. A one-page document is written under the name you chose (report.png); a longer one becomes numbered page files (report-1.png, report-2.png, …). When any of those page files already exist, the export lists them and asks before replacing them; cancelling replaces nothing.

The PDF is laid out by Typst itself, so the page size, orientation and margins come from the document (#set page(…)) rather than from Editora’s Export & Print settings.

Enabling

It’s on by default, self-gating on detection, so it stays inert until the typst CLI is found. Install it with your package manager (brew install typst, cargo install typst-cli) or the in-app Install… button (install.typstCli). The toggle and tool path live under Settings → Typst.
