The typst directory contains the typst package files that you can copy to your local package repository. See the typst package documentation for more information.

As a standalone typst file

Copy typst/graphemy_typst.wasm and typst/graphemy.typ to your project directory. (this is the method that will be used in the rest of this document.)

Usage

Import the load-gmy function from the package

#import "graphemy.typ": load-gmy

Load your script, This will read the specified file. you can also add here options that should be set for all instances of your script, such as margin

#let myscript = load-gmy("myscript.gmy").with(margin: 3)

Use your script as a function which formats strings

#myscript("my sample text")

Available options are

width

The width of the resulting text in absolute length, also informs the linewidth for the graphemy typesetter if it is not set separately. (default: auto)

height

The height of the resulting text in absolute length. If both width and height are set, informs the shape of the bounding box for the text. (default: auto)

margin

The margin left around the image by graphemy, useful in stroke-based scripts. (defaulut: 0)

comment

fg

the foreground color of the rendered text, specified as a Typst color value (default: color.black)

bg

the background color of the rendered text, specified as a Typst color value (default: none)

linewidth

the logical linewidth in absolute length, if it isn’t specified but width is, it is used instead, otherwise the default is 100pt.

scale

overall scale factor of the text, doesn’t affect the typst bounding box, just the scaling.
