Typst Appendix Template

In line with the increasing adoption of Typst across academia and efforts to provide templates to produce the beautiful typeset documents we have been getting with LaTeX, I am presenting a ready to use template for appendices.

As I transition to Typst and Quarto from a LaTeX-based workflow, I realized the need for an appendix template that will provide the beautiful formatted appendices I prepare in almost all research I am involved in. I started using my co-author Cameron Wimpy’s Typst template for academic articles. I highly recommend this template which has a well-thought out combination of font styles. The real-time updating of word count as well as the freedom to use any kind of fonts without changing compilation engine and the fast compilation times make Typst a compelling choice. In order to provide a full solution, I am presenting an appendix template that takes its style cues from the article template mentioned above.

What Will It Do?

This template will mirror a LaTeX appendix layout with a title page, table of contents with dolt leaders, appendix-lettered sections (A, A.1,…), double-spaced body text, and booktabs-style tables.

What Does It Include?

The Typst appendix template is composed of the following files:

• _extension.yml
• typst-show.typ
• typst-template.typ

These files should be placed in a subfolder called “appendix” under folder “_extensions” in the same folder of your appendix files.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/murabus/typst-appendix.git
cd typst-appendix

After cloning the repo, you can place the files in your appendix folder and create a beautiful typeset appendix.

Usage

Include the format in your YAML.
