calepin compile notebook.typ calepin compile website/Write notebooks in pure Typst, a simple, consistent, powerful, and elegant typesetting system. There is no special file format; notebooks and websites are just standard .typ documents. You do not need to “declare” your markup as Typst using special “fences.” Calepin does not push your text through a lossy Pandoc translation layer, and you do not need to learn yet another ad hoc markdown variant.
Write and evaluate Calepin documents without leaving your editor. The Calepin extension starts and stops watched code evaluation; use Tinymist or another extension independently for Typst language tooling and preview. Install Calepin from the VS Code Marketplace, or from Open VSX for Cursor, Positron, and other VSX-compatible editors. See Editor integration.
#import "/.calepin/calepin.typ" as calepin
#calepin.setup(
echo: true,
results: "verbatim",
)
#let py = calepin.inline.with("python")
```python
x = 41
print(x + 1)
```
Variables are persistent across chunks:
```python
print(x + 2)
```
The inline answer is #py[`print(40 + 2)`].Calepin comes from the French word for “notebook.” You should, of course, feel free to say it however you like. The closest English sounds might be “cal-huh-pan,” with “cal” as in “calendar,” and “pan” like the cooking instrument. (The French would pronounce that last syllable more nasally, with a silent “n”.)
