#let total = recipe.values().sum()

#total g of dough, #recipe.len() ingredients.

#table(

== Hello

Ordinary prose, a #link("https://typst.app")[link],
*bold*, and `code`.

+ Lists, numbered or not
+ Math, set as Typst sets it: $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
+ Terms, tables, figures, footnotes

The right pane is not a screenshot. It is the left pane, evaluated while this page compiled, by the same Typst that built every other page here. That is the whole argument: Markdown has no variables, no functions, no math, and no way to load a CSV and build a table from it, so the moment you want one you start stacking a template engine and plugins on top. What that trade costs, next to Hugo, Zola, Eleventy and Astro, is on compared.

One block, every artifact

generate {  sitemap #true  feed { formats "rss" "atom" }}

Turn one on and the config writes itself, along with what it puts in dist/. Each artifact is built from the pages you already wrote, none of it is on until the config says so, and each has its own page under Build.

• QuickstartScaffold, build, and serve in three commands.
• TemplatesA layout is a function taking a page and its body.
• Config referenceEvery key the build reads, in one table.
• SearchA flat index, and a palette to read it.
• TaxonomiesGroup pages by tag, with generated index pages.
• Feeds & sitemapRSS, Atom, and sitemap.xml from your dated pages.

These docs are a baudelaire site: 57 pages, one config file, no plugins, and the sidebar on every other page built from the same content tree the build uses for prev/next links. Its source is in the repository, under docs/.
