Typst + Pygments?

[sjml]

I know there's been some work recently refactoring this, I haven't been able to get the Typst writer to output formatted text using Pygments.

I've been invoking like this; is there something I'm missing here?

pandoc -f markdown -t typst --syntax-highlighting=pygments -o formatTest.typ formatTest.md

And the formatTest.md file contains a fenced code block:

Some simple *Markdown*.

```python
def hello():
    print("hello!")
```

But the code block just gets passed through without any formatting.

Some simple #emph[Markdown];.

```python
def hello():
    print("hello!")
```

Maybe this is just still in-progress? The syntax-highlighting part of the docs don't list Typst as supported, but the documentation of --syntax-highlighting says "Typst output relies on Typst’s own syntax highlighting system by default" (implying it can be changed) so I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is expected to work...

You're using what version of pandoc? I've tested with the latest, and I'm seeing something different from what you report (but still undesirable). Namely, the --syntax-highlighting setting seems to make no difference; I get the same highlighted text with default, none, or e.g. espresso.

It looks like commit e0acb24 didn't modify how the Typst writer renders code -- despite that being one of the motivations for the changes there!

Ah, ok! It looked like that might be the case from my quick perusal of it but I am not very good with Haskell so didn't want to presume.

Version 3.8 packaged by Homebrew. Weird that we're seeing different results... Anything else I should try?

Edit: Just tried with the latest version from the GitHub release, to be sure, and got the same output. :-/

Oh no, my bad! I'll fix that.

[jgm]

It's already fixed! and the fix is in the 3.8.1 release

Sorry, I should have commented here; for some reason GH doesn't put links to back references to discussions in the discussions.
