live version Switching #13

Closed HernandoR closed 11 months ago

HernandoR commented 11 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Mostly, if I updated my CV, I would like to update all languages and compile them all.

Switch behavior by source editing seems unnatural

Describe the solution you'd like Pass the desired languages by cmdline args, or change the varLanguage into a list

Describe alternatives you've considered Furthermore. It feels more reasonable to nast the language entry in the file i.e. like the metadata.typ

I realize that it is a language limitation that each compile can only output one PDF. and also if the cmdline can pass args to the template

A very interesting proposal, I see your point here.

I will be happy to implement this if Typst expands this functionality: https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/295

In the meanwhile, you might want to write a simple bash script that change the variable in the metadata.typ by commands like sed and compile the file, such that you could execute the script once and get the PDF for all versions.

I made a minor change to support this feature. Please have a look at my repo for the use of multi-version support, and my repo of template for information.

Let me know if you'd like to pull my changes, I'll raise a PR

I took a look but I don't quite understand your repo -- so it is that you added a varVersion and it's all?

You can submit a PR if you want though. It would be clearer to review altogether.
