inlinum

An attempt to fix the behavior of Typst's native paragraph handling. This package may be useful until #3206 is fixed.

Usage

This package provides 2 functions: fix-indent and newpar.

#import "@preview/inlinum:0.1.0": fix-indent, newpar

#show: fix-indent

#set par(first-line-indent: 2em) // of your choice

// Your content goes here.

Rules of indentation

For every block level elements (defaults are equations, enums, lists, and figures), the paragraph will remains as if it is the same paragraph when it is not followed by parbreak() (consecutive newlines).

#show: fix-indent

#set par(
  first-line-indent: 2em
)

Hello
$
  x=1
$ 
#lorem(10) // no indent
$
  y=1
$

#lorem(10) // indented

- A1
- B1
#lorem(10) // no indent

- A2
- B2

#lorem(10) // indented
+ A3
+ B3
#lorem(10) // no indent + less spacing

You can manually set the first paragraph by using #newpar.

#figure([FIG ONE], caption: [This is figure 1.])
#lorem(10) // no indent 

#figure([FIG TWO], caption: [This is figure 2.])

#lorem(10) // indented

$ e + f $

#newpar
#lorem(10) // No indented, like first paragraph.

Limitations

The process of fixing requires a show rule of Typst's internal sequence function, which is constructed all the time when you are working with content type. Therefore, it may slow down your compile time. Moreover, this process does not produce new paragraph, so par.line will not work as expected.
