💖 typst(1) — the General Commands Manual glow-up 💖

hiii bestie!! ok so you opened the manual page for typst(1), which lives in the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? you're about to have a whole moment with a compiler. it's the Typst compiler, it's iconic, and i'm gonna walk you through every single flag like we're doing a group project at 2am. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

typst — The Typst compiler. that's it, that's the whole vibe. main character energy fr 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ok so here's the whole shape of it, no notes:

typst [--color] [--cert] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] <subcommands>

read it like a little recipe: some optional garnish flags, then a subcommand that actually does the thing. 🍓

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The Typst compiler. literally what it says on the tin, bestie. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

these are the top-level flags you can sprinkle before your subcommand:

  • --color=COLOR — whether to use color, default is auto. when it's set to auto, it uses color if the terminal supports it. possible values are auto, always, never. pick your fighter 🌈
  • --cert=CERT — path to a custom CA certificate to use when making network requests. you can also set this with the TYPST_CERT environment variable instead. iykyk 🔥
  • -h, --help — print help. the classic "help me help you" 🥺
  • -V, --version — print version. a little proof of identity moment 💅

🦋 SUBCOMMANDS 🦋

ok this is the part where you pick the actual activity, like choosing what to order. each one has its own manual page, so go read those for the deets:

  • typst-compile(1) — compiles an input file into a supported output format
  • typst-watch(1) — watches an input file and recompiles on changes
  • typst-init(1) — initializes a new project from a template
  • typst-query(1) — processes an input file to extract provided metadata
  • typst-fonts(1) — lists all discovered fonts in system and custom font paths
  • typst-completions(1) — generates shell completion scripts
  • typst-info(1) — displays debugging information about Typst
  • typst-help(1) — print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
