typst-math Extension For Quarto

This extension converts the default LaTeX math blocks in Pandoc to Typst math blocks. This allows you to write Typst math inside inline Pandoc math ($...$) and Pandoc display math ($$ ... $$).

Thank you very much to @cderv for providing the foundation of the lua filter. Here, I'm mostly packaging it.

Installing

quarto add sverrirarnors/typst-math

This will install the extension under the _extensions subdirectory. If you're using version control, you will want to check in this directory.

Using

Simply add the typst-math filter in your yaml header:

---
title: "`typst-math` Example"
format: typst
format:
  typst:
    filters:
    - typst-math
---

and then use typst math within either inline math or display math. Note that for display math, you need to add a new line after the $$, like so:

$$
[math here]
$$

This filter only works for the typst format.

Example

Here is the source code for a minimal example: example.qmd, and the output example.pdf.
