Version 0.11.0 (March 15, 2024)

Tables (thanks to @PgBiel)
- Tables are now much more flexible, read the new table guide to get started
- Added table.cell element for per-cell configuration
- Cells can now span multiple columns or rows
- The stroke of individual cells can now be customized
- The align and inset arguments of the table function now also take (x, y) => .. functions
- Added table.hline and table.vline for convenient line customization
- Added table.header element for table headers that repeat on every page
- Added table.footer element for table footers that repeat on every page
- All the new table functionality is also available for grids
- Fixed gutter-related bugs
Templates
- You can now use template packages to get started with new projects. Click Start from template on the web app's dashboard and choose your preferred template or run the typst init <template> command in the CLI. You can browse the available templates here.
- Switching templates after the fact has become easier. You can just import a styling function from a different template package.
- Package authors can now submit their own templates to the package repository. Share a template for a paper, your institution, or an original work to help the community get a head start on their projects.
- Templates and packages are now organized by category and discipline. Filter packages by either taxonomy in the Start from template wizard. If you are a package author, take a look at the new documentation for categories and disciplines.
Context
- Added context expressions: Read the chapter on context to get started
- With context, you can access settable properties, e.g. context text.lang to access the language set via set text(lang: "..")
- The following existing functions have been made contextual: query, locate, measure, counter.display, counter.at, counter.final, state.at, and state.final
- Added contextual methods counter.get and state.get to retrieve the value of a counter or state in the current context
- Added contextual function here to retrieve the location of the current context
- The locate function now returns the location of a selector's unique match. Its old behavior has been replaced by context expressions and only remains temporarily available for compatibility.
- The counter.at and state.at methods are now more flexible: They directly accept any kind of locatable selector with a unique match (e.g. a label) instead of just locations
- When context is available, counter.display now directly returns the result of applying the numbering instead of yielding opaque content. It should not be used anymore without context. (Deprecation planned)
- The state.display function should not be used anymore, use state.get instead (Deprecation planned)
- The location argument of query, counter.final, and state.final should not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
- The styles argument of the measure function should not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
- The style function should not be used anymore, use context instead (Deprecation planned)
- The correct context is now also provided in various other places where it is available, e.g. in show rules, layout callbacks, and numbering functions in the outline
Styling
- Fixed priority of multiple show-set rules: They now apply in the same order as normal set rules would
- Show-set rules on the same element (e.g. show heading.where(level: 1): set heading(numbering: "1.")) now work properly
- Setting properties on an element within a transformational show rule (e.g. show heading: it => { set heading(..); it }) is not supported anymore (previously it also only worked sometimes); use show-set rules instead (Breaking change)
- Text show rules that match their own output now work properly (e.g. show "cmd": `cmd`)
- The elements passed to show rules and returned by queries now contain all fields of their respective element functions rather than just specific ones
- All settable properties can now be used in where selectors
- And and or selectors can now be used with show rules
- Errors within show rules and context expressions are now ignored in all but the last introspection iteration, in line with the behavior of the old locate
- Fixed a bug where document set rules were allowed after content
Layout
- Added reflow argument to rotate and scale which lets them affect the layout
- Fixed a bug where floating placement or floating figures could end up out of order
- Fixed overlap of text and figure for full-page floating figures
- Fixed various cases where the hide function didn't hide its contents properly

- Fixed bug with indent logic of raw blocks
- Fixed a parsing bug with dictionaries
Development
- Extracted parser and syntax tree into typst-syntax crate
- The World::today implementation of Typst dependants may need fixing if they have the same bug that the CLI world had

- Like other expressions, they now require a leading hash
- More expressions available with hash, including literals (#"string") as well as field access and method call without space: #emoji.face
New import syntax
- #import "module.typ" creates binding named module
- #import "module.typ": a, b or #import "module.typ": * to import items
- #import emoji: face, turtle to import from already bound module
New symbol handling

Delimiter matching in math
- Any opening delimiters matches any closing one
- When matched, they automatically scale
- To prevent scaling, escape them
- To forcibly match two delimiters, use lr function
- Line breaks may occur between matched delimiters
- Delimiters may also be unbalanced
- You can also use the lr function to scale the brackets (or just one bracket) to a specific size manually
Multi-line math with alignment
- The \ character inserts a line break

- Alignment points also work for underbraces, vectors, cases, and matrices
- Multiple alignment points are supported
More capable math function calls
- Function calls directly in math can now take code expressions with hash
- They can now also take named arguments
- Within math function calls, semicolons turn preceding arguments to arrays to support matrices: $mat(1, 2; 3, 4)$
