Minimal Writings

Quick and simple general-purpose notes with extended syntax

Quick Start

#import "@preview/min-writing:0.1.0": writing

#set document(
  title: "Title",
  author: "Author",
  description: "Description",
)

#show: writing

// Write typst with expanded syntax (see manual)

Description

Create quick notes intuitively and rapidly, using syntactic sugar that extends the markup supported by Typst. By default, new documents are created in quick-note mode—which ignores page breaks and optimizes the layout for screens—though you can also select the classic paged mode.

This package was designed to make creating documents as easy as possible, without requiring extensive initial configuration—in fact, you simply need to import the package and apply the #show rule to access its features—yet it still offers various options for fine-tuning.
