tbl.typ

This is a library for Typst built upon Pg Biel's fabulous tablex library.

It allows the creation of complex tables in Typst using a compact syntax based on the tbl preprocessor for the traditional UNIX TROFF typesetting system. There are also some novel features that are not currently offered by Typst itself or tablex, namely:

• Decimal point alignment (using the decimalpoint region option and N-classified columns)
• Columns of equal width (using the e column modifier)
• Columns with a guaranteed minimum width (using the w column modifier)
• Cells that are ignored when calculating column widths (using the z column modifier)
• Equation tables (using the mode: "math" region option)

Many other features exist to condense common configurations to a concise syntax.

For example:

#import "@preview/tbl:0.0.4"
#show: tbl.template.with(box: true, tab: "|")

```tbl
      R | L
      R   N.

Many other examples and copious documentation are provided in the
[`README.pdf`](README.pdf) file.

This source repository also includes a test suite based on those examples,
which can be ran using the GNU `make` command. See `make help` for details.
