Setting no page number in title page in typst format

[psads-git]

Description

Consider the following quarto document, where I am trying to set the title page to have no page number, but unsuccessfully. The page numbering should resume after title page (starting at 2). Could you please help me? Thanks!

---
title: "Brief"
format: typst
---

```{=typst}
#set page(numbering: none)
```

{{< pagebreak >}}

# Introduction

You're using a typst rawblock, so what you're asking is a typst question. I'd recommend looking at the keep-typ: true output and the typst documentation

[mcanouil]

You need to learn Typst, and define your own format/style, see https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst-custom.html.

[psads-git]

Thanks, @mcanouil, for your suggestion. I imagined it would be much easier!

[mcanouil]

Quarto cannot wrap all possible customisation for all formats, thus the extension mechanism and the partials/template mechanism.

I would hazard to say that page numbering, including how to start numbering on the n'th page, would be a basic feature. Otherwise, the user will have to dip into Typst very early, which makes the Quarto layer very "thin".

[mcanouil]

It's not possible for Quarto to offer abstraction for everything and for all formats.

With 1.8 (pre-release), what you can do now is to tweak the page.typ partial (not yet documented) to change the Typst page layout as you see fit.

• quarto-cli/src/resources/formats/typst/pandoc/quarto/page.typ

  Lines 1 to 8 in 7c8fd21

  	#set page(
  	paper: $if(papersize)$"$papersize$"$else$"us-letter"$endif$,
  	margin: $if(margin)$($for(margin/pairs)$$margin.key$: $margin.value$,$endfor$)$else$(x: 1.25in, y: 1.25in)$endif$,
  	numbering: $if(page-numbering)$"$page-numbering$"$else$none$endif$,
  	)
  	$if(logo)$
  	#set page(background: align($logo.location$, box(inset: $logo.inset$, image("$logo.path$", width: $logo.width$$if(logo.alt)$, alt: "$logo.alt$"$endif$))))
  	$endif$

This being said, this new partial allows you to do the following.
Note that the value of page-numbering is limited to what Typst allows.
