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 viaset text(lang: "..")
- The following existing functions have been made contextual:
query
,locate
,measure
,counter.display
,counter.at
,counter.final
,state.at
, andstate.final
- Added contextual methods
counter.get
andstate.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 Its old behavior has been replaced by context expressions and only remains temporarily available for compatibility.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
andstate.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, usestate.get
instead (Deprecation planned) - The
location
argument ofquery
,counter.final
, andstate.final
should not be used anymore (Deprecation planned) - The
styles
argument of themeasure
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 torotate
andscale
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 usage of
h
andv
in stacks - Invisible content like a counter update will no longer force a visible block for just itself

- Fixed a bug due to which text features could not be overridden in consecutive set rules
Model
- Added
depth
andoffset
arguments to heading to increase or decrease the heading level for a bunch of content; the heading syntax now setsdepth
rather thanlevel
(Breaking change) - List markers now cycle by default
- The
quote
function now more robustly selects the correct quotes based on language and nesting - Fixed indent bugs related to the default show rule of terms
Math
- Inline equations now automatically linebreak at appropriate places
- Added
number-align
argument to equations - Added support for adjusting the
size
of accents relative to their base - Improved positioning of accents

strong
andemph
anymore - Fixed
attach
under fractions - Fixed that
math.class
did not affect smart limit placement - Fixed weak spacing in

groups - Fixed layout of large operators for Cambria Math font
