Typst support

[ashton314]

Adding support for Typst would be pretty nifty; it seems to be gaining some momentum.

If I end up using Typst more I will definitely see if I can put together the PR for this.

I'm a fan, so agree; the latest release added typography features that bring it up to par now with the best of the LaTeX world.

But I also don't use it for academic stuff. Am not really sure what their citation support is like now.

Looks like the support CSL files! Docs: https://typst.app/docs/reference/model/bibliography/

Yes, I do know that; I submitted the original FR for that. I assumed you knew.

I don't know, however, what they do with the actual citations.

Ah, no. I'd been observing Typst from afar until this past week. Some of other PhD students in my lab are pretty excited about it, so I decided to see what all the fuss was about—I don't know much historical context.

Update: I am slowly working on citar-typst.el in a fork here. I can already read the local bibliography file and insert citations. This covers like 95% of my use cases. I'll try to fill out the remaining important functions.

Something I haven't thought much about yet is whether or not to support Typst's bespoke bibliography format.
