• TOML

toml

Reads structured data from a TOML file.

The file must contain a valid TOML table. TOML tables will be converted into Typst dictionaries, and TOML arrays will be converted into Typst arrays. Strings, booleans and datetimes will be converted into the Typst equivalents and numbers will be converted to floats or integers depending on whether they are whole numbers.

The TOML file in the example consists of a table with the keys title, version, and authors.

Example

#let details = toml("details.toml")

Title: #details.title \
Version: #details.version \
Authors: #(details.authors
  .join(", ", last: " and "))
