How to use Typst
To work with Typst, you have 2 options:
- use the official web app
- use your own text editor (VS Code, Vim, etc.)
Web app¶
The web app offers an it just works experience since everything happens in your browser:
- no installation
- instant preview
- auto-completion
- collaboration
- And other features!
It's probably what you should use if you're just getting started with Typst!
Text editor¶
The other option is to work locally inside a text editor. For this, you'll need to install the Typst compiler.
It's also recommended that you install Tinymist, which is a language service for Typst. Basically, it will offer things such as:
- code formatting
- auto-completion
- function hovering to get documentation
- And many more!
It works for most IDEs, and will create a similar experience to what you have on the official web app.
