cjk-unbreak is a package that removes spaces around CJK characters caused by line breaks in the Typst document.
This allows Typst like:
中文段落中
换行。
to be rendered as:
中文段落中换行。
Usage
Add the following code at the beginning of your document:
#import "@preview/cjk-unbreak:0.1.0": remove-cjk-break-space
#show: remove-cjk-break-space
The remove-cjk-break-space function transforms the content and removes spaces between the text element such as [ ] in sequence([中文], [ ], [字符]).
It will not modify spaces within a single text element such as [中文 字符] or between elements that are not both text such as sequence([中文], [ ], strong(body: [字符])).
Transform
cjk-unbreak use a function called transform-childs to modify the AST of the content. Unlike show in Typst, which applies multiple times until the content stabilizes, the transform is applid only once.
See the source code of remove-cjk-break-space to learn more about how to use transform-childs.
Other information
This package is a temporary solution to Typst Issue#792.
Thanks to admk for providing the idea to remove [ ] from the sequence, and to touying, who demonstrated how to modify the AST of content.
