Draft mode

[BerndDemian]

Is in Typst a Draft mode possible, like in Latex?
Because my document has over 120 photos, the compiling will take 2 minutes, so little text change a very slow.
Thanks

As a workaround you could do something like

#let image(..x) = box(width: default_width, ..x)

and comment it to go out of draft mode.

But no currently typst doesn't have a draft mode

It's a good idea, but maybe not acceptable in some cases, because one of the advantages of LaTeX's draft mode is to show boxes of the exact size of the image in order to get to the final layout by saving some time.

We can probably optimize that quite easily so that it is fast enough. Currently, encoding images for the PDF is not memoized and that is probably the bottleneck.

Thanks for the answer and good luck!
