Zebraw is a lightweight and fast package for displaying code blocks with line numbers in typst, supporting code line highlighting. The term Zebraw is a combination of zebra and raw, for the highlighted lines will be displayed in the code block like a zebra lines.
Starting
Import zebraw
package by #import "@preview/zebraw:0.4.0": *
then follow with #show: zebraw
to start using zebraw in the simplest way. To manually display some specific code blocks in zebraw, you can use #zebraw()
function:
By passing parameters to #show: zebraw-init.with()
will affect every raw block after the #show
rule, including blocks created manually by #zebraw()
function. By using zebraw-init
without any parameters, the values will be reset to default.
Features
Line Highlighting
You can highlight specific lines in the code block by passing the highlight-lines
parameter to the zebraw
function. The highlight-lines
parameter can be a single line number or an array of line numbers.
Comment
You can add comments to the highlighted lines by passing an array of line numbers and comments to the highlight-lines
parameter.
Comments can begin with a flag, which is ">"
by default. You can change the flag by passing the comment-flag
parameter to the zebraw
function:
To disable the flag feature, pass ""
to the comment-flag
parameter (the indentation of the comment will be disabled as well):
Header and Footer
Usually, the comments passing by a dictionary of line numbers and comments are used to add a header or footer to the code block:
Or you can use header
and footer
parameters to add a header or footer to the code block:
Language Tab
If lang
is set to true
, then there will be a language tab on the top right corner of the code block:
Copyable
If copyable
is set to true
, line numbers will not be copied when copying exported code.
For comparison:
copyable: false (Default) |
copyable: true |
---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
However when a code block is copyable
, it won’t be able to cross page. Only line numbers will be excluded for being selected.
Theme
