Tables, equations, and bibliography

Tables

Choose Document → Insert table… to build a table and inspect the generated source before inserting it.

For a small table, you can also type:

#table(
  columns: (1fr, 1fr),
  table.header([Observation], [Count]),
  [Morning], [12],
  [Afternoon], [18],
)

Equations

Use dollar signs for math. Spaces just inside the delimiters make a displayed equation:

The energy is $E = m c^2$.

$ sum_(i=1)^n i = (n(n+1))/2 $

Use Document → Insert symbol… when you need help finding a symbol. The Typst math reference explains the language in more detail.

Bibliography

Upload a bibliography file such as references.bib, then choose Document → Insert bibliography… or insert:

#bibliography("references.bib")

Cite an existing key with @key. A citation key must match an entry in the bibliography file; a missing key produces a diagnostic.

Table of contents

Choose Document → Insert table of contents…, or use #outline() to list your document’s headings. Use =, ==, and === for successive heading levels.

The insertion tools generate source you can continue editing. If your template already defines these elements, follow the template’s structure before adding a second copy.
