# mktypst
Just a couple of dumb Typst templates so I stop rewriting the same document setup every fucking time.
```sh
$ mktypst rapport
$ typst watch rapport.typ
```
## Templates
`paper` is a two-column academic article; `letter` is a French formal letter. Both are French by default (`lang: "fr"`), so you get guillemets, the spacing before `; : ! ?`, `Résumé`, `Tableau`, all of it — pass `lang: "en"` for English.
You apply one with a `#show` rule at the top of the document and start writing:
```typ
#import "@local/hachem:0.1.0": paper
#show: paper.with(
title: "Les Origines de YHWH",
date: "mars 2026",
authors: ((name: "Hachem H.", location: [Paris, France]),),
abstract: [Un paragraphe.],
)
= Introduction
Du texte.
```
The `letter` works the same way. There are full examples in `samples/`, and `make samples` compiles them.
## Usage
```text
$ mktypst --help
mktypst 0.1.0 - dumb typst document generator
generates a typst document that imports and applies an mktypst
template, so you can start writing instead of pasting a preamble.
usage: mktypst [-t template] [-T title] [-a author] [-d date] [-f] <name>
mktypst [-v | -h]
options:
-t, --template NAME template to apply (default paper)
-T, --title TITLE document title (default: the name)
-a, --author NAME author name (default: git config user.name)
-d, --date DATE document date (default: current month)
-f, --force overwrite an existing file
--stdout write to stdout instead of a .typ file
-v, --version print version and bail
-h, --help print this and bail
by hachem <im@hachem.wtf>
```
```sh
$ mktypst rapport # paper, the default
$ mktypst -t letter -T "candidature" x # a letter instead
$ mktypst --stdout note # print it, don't write a file
```
## Install
```sh
$ git clone https://git.hachem.wtf/mktypst && cd mktypst
$ sudo make install # mktypst -> /usr/local/bin, templates -> @local/hachem
$ make install PREFIX=~/.local # or without sudo
```
You need a C compiler for the binary, and Typst (plus the EB Garamond font) to build documents. The templates install into Typst's local package dir, so any file can `#import "@local/hachem:0.1.0"`. In the Typst app, link that folder as the namespace `local` and it works there too.
