PDF export

PDF export was fully rewritten to use the new krilla library, fixing various bugs and enabling many improvements. Known fixes are listed below, but there will likely be other changes in how the output behaves. If you spot any regressions, please report them on GitHub. (Thanks to @LaurenzV for creating krilla!) #5420

• Typst now produces accessible PDFs out of the box. Such documents are suitable for consumption in a wide range of circumstances. That not only includes consumption by people with permanent or temporary disabilities, but also by those with different devices or preferences.
  • Typst PDFs are now tagged by default. Tags are rich metadata that PDF viewers can use to make the document consumable in other ways than visually (e.g., through a screen reader).
  • In addition, Typst can now emit documents conforming to the PDF/UA-1 standard. (PDF/UA-2 is not yet supported, but planned.)
  • There is an increasing amount of existing and upcoming legislation requiring documents to be accessible, for instance, the European Accessibility Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
  • For more details on all of this, read the new Accessibility Guide.
• Typst now supports all PDF/A standards: PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-2u, PDF/A-2a, PDF/A-3b, PDF/A-3u, PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-4, PDF/A-4f, and PDF/A-4e. See the expanded PDF/A documentation for guidance on how to select a suitable standard. #5420 #7038
• Typst now supports the PDF versions 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0 in addition to PDF 1.7. See the relevant section of the PDF documentation for details. #5420
• Added pdf.artifact function for marking content as not semantically meaningful #6619
• Added experimental pdf.header-cell, pdf.data-cell, and pdf.table-summary functions for enhancing accessibility of documents with complex tables. These functions are guarded by the a11y-extras feature. They do not have a final interface and will be removed in the future, either through integration into table functions or through full removal. #6619
• PDF heading bookmarks now contain the heading's numbering #6622
• Attachments
  • Renamed pdf.embed to pdf.attach (the old name will remain as a deprecated alias until Typst 0.15) #6705
  • The mime property of pdf.attach is now checked for syntactical correctness (Minor breaking change)
  • Fixed parsing of the data argument of pdf.attach #6435
  • Attachments now smartly determine whether they should be compressed #6256
• Text extraction (i.e. copy paste)
  • Now works correctly even when multiple different characters result in the same glyph #5420
  • Spaces between words at which a natural line break occurred are now correctly retained for text extraction #6866
  • Fixed mapping of hyphenation artifacts to Unicode text #6799
• Images
  • CMYK images now work properly in PDF export #5420
  • Improved export of text in SVG images with a filter #5420
  • Improved compatibility of SVG images with Quartz rendering engine (the engine used in Apple Preview) #5420
  • Improved handling of SVG images with high group nesting depth #5420
• Fixed a bug with text in patterns #5420
• Fixed gradients with transparency #5420

HTML export

• Added support for many more built-in elements (the Model category is now fully covered)
  • The image element #6578
  • The footnote and footnote.entry element #6917
  • The outline and outline.entry element #6606
  • The bibliography element #6952

  • The lower and upper functions #6585
• Added typed HTML API (e.g. html.div) with individually typed attributes #6476
  • For example, to generate a video element you can now write #html.video(width: 400, src: "sunrise.mp4") instead of #html.elem("video", attrs: (width: "400", src: "sunrise.mp4")). Note how the width attribute takes an integer instead of a string.
• Added support for intra-doc link targets #6602
• The raw element
  • Added syntax highlighting support #6691
  • Block-level raw elements now emit both a <code> and a <pre> tag #6701
  • The language tag of raw elements is now preserved as a data-lang attribute on the <code> tag #6702

• Improved encoding of html.frame #6605
• Empty attributes are now encoded with shorthand syntax (e.g. <div hidden></div>) #6479
• Zero-sized horizontal weak spacing (h(0pt, weak: true)) does not cause a "was ignored during HTML export" warning anymore, so it can be used to destruct surrounding spaces without producing any output, as in paged export #6917
• Fixed encoding of <pre> and <textarea> elements that start with a newline #6487 #6497
• Fixed encoding of raw text elements #6487 #6720
• Fixed sizing of html.frame #6505

• Fixed wrong linebreak opportunities related to object replacement characters #6251
• Fixed an issue where a breakable block would still produce an empty segment even if nothing fit into the first segment, leading to various undesirable behaviors in combination with fills, strokes, and stickiness #6335
• Fixed crash with set rule for column or rowspan on a grid cell #6401
• Fixed CJK-Latin-spacing at manual line breaks #6700

Math

• Added frac.style property with new options for skewed and inline fractions #6672

• An augment line can now exist at the start and end of a matrix, not only in between columns and rows #5806
• Shorthands and multi-character numbers do not bind more tightly than fractions anymore in cases like $x>=(y)/z$ #5925 #5996 (Minor breaking change)
• Named arguments passed to symbols used as function now raise an error instead of being silently ignored #6192 (Minor breaking change)
• The mid element does not force the "large" math class upon its contents anymore and instead defaults to "relation" #5980
• Fixed the default math class of ⅋, ⎰, ⟅, ⎱, ⟆, ⟇, and ، #5949 #6537

Thanks to @mkorje for his work on math!

Model
