Document Structure

Headings

Use Typst’s standard heading syntax:

= Main Heading (Chapter)
== Second-level Heading (Section)
=== Third-level Heading (Subsection)
Figures and Images 
#figure(
  image("path/to/image.png", width: 80%),
  caption: [This is a caption for the figure.]
) <fig-label>

// Reference the figure in text
See @fig-label for details.
Tables 
#figure(
  table(
    columns: (auto, auto, auto),
    [*Header 1*], [*Header 2*], [*Header 3*],
    [Row 1, Col 1], [Row 1, Col 2], [Row 1, Col 3],
    [Row 2, Col 1], [Row 2, Col 2], [Row 2, Col 3],
  ),
  caption: [Sample table with data.]
) <table-label>

// Reference the table in text
As shown in @table-label...
Citations and Bibliography
  1. Create a bibliography file (e.g., references.bib)
  2. Reference citations in your document: According to @smith2022, the results show...
  3. Add the bibliography at the end of your document
#pagebreak()
#import "lib/pages/translations.typ": translations  
#let t = translations.at("en")  // "en" for English, "de" for German
#heading(t.at("bibliography"), numbering: none, outlined: true)
#bibliography("references.bib", title: none)
Using Glossary Terms

Reference glossary terms in your document:

// Reference a glossary term
The @algorithm is efficient.

// Or use functions for more control
The #gls("algorithm") is efficient.
These #glspl("cpu") are powerful.

To manually include a glossary section:

#pagebreak()
#heading("Glossary", numbering: none, outlined: true)
#import "lib/pages/glossary.typ": glossary_entries
#print-glossary(glossary_entries, show-all: true)

File Organization

For larger documents, we recommend organizing your project files in a modular structure like the provided example:

project/
├── main.typ                # Main document that imports template and includes chapter files
├── references.bib          # Bibliography file
├── assets/
│   └── images/             # Images and other media
└── chapters/
    ├── introduction.typ    # Each chapter in a separate file
    ├── background.typ
    └── ...

Requirements

  • Typst 0.13.1 or higher
