Randziffern (also called Randnummern) are a way to reference text passages in a document, independent of the page number or the section number. They are used in many German legal texts, for example. This package provides a way to create Randziffern in Typst.

Demo

left page with Randziffern on the left of the text right page with Randziffern on the right of the text

#show: init-jurz.with(
  gap: 1em,
  two-sided: true
)

#rz #lorem(50)

#lorem(20)

#rz<abc> #lorem(30)

#rz #lorem(40)

#rz #lorem(50)

#lorem(20)

#rz #lorem(24)

Reference

init-jurz

A show rule that initializes the Randziffern for the document. This rule should be placed at the beginning of the document. It also allows customizing the behavior of the Randziffern.

Usage

#show: init-jurz.with(
 // parameters
 // two-sided: true,
 // gap: 1em,
 // supplement: "Rz.",
 // reset-level: 0,
)

Parameters

  • two-sided (optional): If true, the Randziffern are placed on the outer margin of the page. If false, they are placed on the left margin. Default is true.
  • gap (optional): The distance between the Randziffer and the text. Default is 1em.
  • supplement (optional): The text that is placed before the Randziffer when referencing it. Default is "Rz.".
  • reset-level (optional): The heading level at which the Randziffern are reset. If set to 3, for example, the numbering of the Randziffern restarts after every heading of levels 1, 2, or 3. Default is 0.

rz

Adds a Randziffer to the text. The Randziffer is a unique identifier that can be referenced in the text.

You can add references the same way you can with headings. In fact, the Randziffer is treated as a heading of level 99 under the hood.

Usage

#rz #lorem(100)
#rz<abc> #lorem(100)
