pageElementElement functions can be customized with set and show rules.
set and show rules.Layouts its child onto one or multiple pages.
Although this function is primarily used in set rules to affect page properties, it can also be used to explicitly render its argument onto a set of pages of its own.
Pages can be set to use auto as their width or height. In this case,
the pages will grow to fit their content on the respective axis.
Example
#set page("us-letter")
There you go, US friends!

clear that we need to take urgent
action to reduce our carbon
emissions and mitigate the impacts
of a rapidly changing climate.
fill
The page's background color.
This instructs the printer to color the complete page with the given color. If you are considering larger production runs, it may be more environmentally friendly and cost-effective to source pre-dyed pages and not set this property.
Default: none
#set page(fill: rgb("444352"))
#set text(fill: rgb("fdfdfd"))
*Dark mode enabled.*
numbering
How to number the pages.
If an explicit footer is given, the numbering is ignored.
Default: none
#set page(
height: 100pt,
margin: (top: 16pt, bottom: 24pt),
numbering: "1 / 1",
)
#lorem(48)

set rule.The alignment of the page numbering.
Default: center
#set page(
margin: (top: 16pt, bottom: 24pt),
numbering: "1",
number-align: right,
)
#lorem(30)
header
The page's header. Fills the top margin of each page.
Default: none
#set par(justify: true)
#set page(
margin: (top: 32pt, bottom: 20pt),
header: [

set rule.The amount the header is raised into the top margin.
Default: 30%

you want to create a custom footer, but still display the page number,
you can directly access the page counter.
Default: none
#set par(justify: true)
#set page(
height: 100pt,
margin: 20pt,
footer: [
#set align(right)
#set text(8pt)
#counter(page).display(
"1 of I",
both: true,
)
]
)
#lorem(48)
footer-descent
The amount the footer is lowered into the bottom margin.
Default: 30%
background
Content in the page's background.
This content will be placed behind the page's body. It can be used to place a background image or a watermark.

#set page(background: rotate(24deg,
text(18pt, fill: rgb("FFCBC4"))[
*CONFIDENTIAL*
]
))
= Typst's secret plans
In the year 2023, we plan to take

Reviewer 2 has marked our paper
"Weak Reject" because they did
not understand our approach...

The contents of the page(s).
Multiple pages will be created if the content does not fit on a single page. A new page with the page properties prior to the function invocation will be created after the body has been typeset.
