The gridlock Package (v0.2.0)

Grid typesetting in Typst. Use this package if you want to line up your body text across columns and pages.

Example

Getting Started

#import "@preview/gridlock:0.2.0": *

#show: gridlock.with()

#lock[= This is a heading]

#lorem(30)

#figure(
  placement: auto,
  caption: [a caption],
  rect()
)

#lorem(30)

Usage

Check out the manual for a detailed description.

To get started, import the package into your document:

#import "@preview/gridlock:0.2.0": *

Set up the basic parameters:

#show: gridlock.with(
  paper: "a4",
  margin: (y: 76.445pt),
  font-size: 11pt,
  line-height: 13pt
)

You can now use the lock() function to align any block to the text grid. Block quotes bulleted/numbered lists, and floating figures do not need to be wrapped in lock(). Their spacing is handled fully automatically.

#lock[= Heading]

#lorem(50)

#lock(figure(
  rect(),
  caption: [An example figure aligned to the grid.]
))

#lorem(50)

#lock[$ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 $]

#lorem(50)
