Typst is a markup-based typesetting system and compiler for creating documents and compiling them locally, including to PDF. It provides built-in markup for common formatting tasks, flexible functions, an integrated scripting system, mathematical typesetting, and bibliography management. Its scripting syntax supports variables, functions, expressions, and data-driven document content, while set and show rules configure or redefine element appearance. The compiler uses incremental compilation for fast rebuilds and provides friendly error messages; the repository contains the Typst compiler and command-line interface, with a collaborative online editor available separately.
