Table column sizes

You must make sure you have linebreaks around that entered markup, the prefix/suffix editor is a bit hard to use but linebreaks are inserted with option+return.

Ah, thank you. Of course, the linebreaks are not visible in the prefix/suffix fields, and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t consult the Scrivener manual. Being new to all this, with a complex flow like Scrivener > MMD > Pandoc > Typst (or Prince XML) I have no easy grasp on where any effect, like table spacing for instance, is being set.

Yes, that is totally possible. I added a basic TXT Typst output in that template — select compile for Plain Text and select “Pure Typst”. It compiles directly and runs Typst to make a PDF. You have to be aware you lose in the convenience functions that Scrivener has built for markdown, where it converts RTF heading level, lists, figures with captions, tables etc. to the correct markdown.

Thanks for the new template. For the moment, figures with or without captions and RTF tables are not a concern for me—something for later—but while thinking about it, I did realise that heading levels would probably have to be done through separate section types + layouts.

Perhaps we can move this to the Typst thread ) as we are way off topic for column sizes by now…

To be honest, although my current concerns are still trying to get tables set up the way I want, row spacing at present, I had been thinking that I should be continuing in a different thread, so I’ll use the Typst thread from now on.
