Members of over 3,500 universities and laboratories and over 1,000 businesses are using Typst.
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.

)Pick a template, create your own, or just start writing. All the formatting happens automatically.
Export as a PDF, image, or a website, without touching your markup.
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.
The tutorial sets you up to start writing in less than 30 minutes. And you can learn about advanced topics later in the reference.
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!
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.
The Typst app adds thought-out features at every step of your workflow.
Shows a list of team members with a button to add a new member, cards for their shared projects, and an editor in which they are collaborating.
Create teams to organize your projects across departments, subjects, or clients. Invite your team members to collaborate on projects and share packages.
Shows a modal to create a project from a private template, such as a branded template for a user manual and a letterhead. 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.
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.
Add collaborators to your project via email or a link. You can choose whether they can edit the project or just view it.
Shows a code editor with a Typst source code, a preview of the compiled document, and a list of compilations that complete in milliseconds.
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.
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.
Bring your existing documents to Typst. Convert Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or OpenDocument Text files to Typst projects on your dashboard.
Use Git to version control your Typst projects. Commit changes, and push to remote repositories on GitHub and GitLab right from the app.
Lists of literature from Zotero and Mendeley. A modal to retrieve a Zotero collection as BibTeX is shown, as is an editor referencing literature within Zotero in Typst code
Sync your bibliography on Zotero or Mendeley to a BibTeX file in your Typst project. Typst will automatically format citations and references in your document.
Automatically convert Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or OpenDocument Text files to Typst projects on your dashboard.

Our web app is the best place to use Typst and collaborate on projects. The Free Plan is rock solid, and Typst Pro takes you even further.
Typst is designed for secure, reliable, and scalable operation in big and small organizations.
A 2000-page contract note takes approximately 1 minute to compile with Typst, in stark contrast to lualatex’s 18 minutes.

- 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.
