Basic Examples¶
Simple examples to get started with typsphinx.
Minimal Configuration¶
The simplest possible setup:
conf.py:
project = "My Project"
author = "My Name"
extensions = ["typsphinx"]
typst_documents = [
("index", "output", project, author, "typst"),
]
index.rst:
My Documentation
================
Welcome to my documentation!
Introduction
------------
This is a simple example.
Build:
sphinx-build -b typstpdf source/ build/pdf
Adding Math¶
Include mathematical expressions:
index.rst:
Math Examples
=============
Inline math: :math:`E = mc^2`
Display math:
.. math::
\\int_0^\\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \\frac{\\sqrt{\\pi}}{2}
The math is automatically rendered using mitex (LaTeX) or native Typst math.
Code Blocks¶
Add syntax-highlighted code:
index.rst:
Code Example
============
Python code:
.. code-block:: python
def hello(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
hello("World")
Code is highlighted using the codly package.
Tables¶
