Description

Generate complete and complex books, without any annoying new commands or syntax, just good old pure Typst. This package manipulates the standard Typst elements as much as possible, adapting them to the needs of a book structure in a way that there’s no need to learn a whole new semantic just because of min-book.

For some fancy book features there is no existing compatible Typst element to re-work and adapt; in those cases, this package do provide additional commands that are completely optional, for the sake of completeness.

This package comes with some thoughful ready-to-use defaults but also allows you to play with highly customizable options if you need them, so it’s really up to you: customize it your way or ride along the defaults — both ways are possible and encouraged.
