Add language support for Typst

[TheLukeGuy]

This is a request for language support for Typst.

• language name: Typst
• file extension(s): .typ
• method(s) of commenting text:
  • Single-line comments start with //
  • Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */
• location of sample code:
  • The comment compiler test
  • A random library with both comment types
  • A longer compiler test

Thanks! :)

I just thought about it last night!

But I found that typ is not an exclusive extension for Typst. GitHub Linguist have some discussion on it: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/issues/6358#issuecomment-1493706282 and they finally use some pattern matching like pattern: '^#(import|show|let|set)' to tell the file type.

I'm not sure is this applicable to cloc.

[LingkKang]

As a temporary workaround, put the following cloc definition under a text file such as typst-def.txt

Typst
    filter rm_comments_in_strings " /* */
    filter rm_comments_in_strings " // 
    filter call_regexp_common C++
    extension typ
    3rd_gen_scale 1.00

And instruct cloc to recognise Typst locally:

cloc --read-lang-def=typst-def.txt .

The result should be fine with Typst.
