About

Typst is a document typesetting system developed in Rust. You can write text documents following Typst syntax rules and compile them into PDF documents. Typst aims to achieve LaTeX-level typesetting quality with Markdown-level simplicity and compilation speed.

This template is a simple and easy-to-use Typst template for Tongji University thesis, planned to cover undergraduate, master's, and doctoral theses.

Usage

Local Editing (Recommended)

This method is suitable for most users.

• Install Typst

If you use the Scoop package manager, simply run:

scoop install typst

After installing Typst, run:

typst init @preview/universal-tongji-thesis:0.1.0

Typst will create a folder named universal-tongji-thesis. Navigate to this directory, modify thesis.typ, and run:

typst compile thesis.typ

[!TIP]
This template is under active development with frequent updates. Although it has been uploaded to Typst Universe, you can use Typst local packages to experience the latest version locally before it syncs to Typst Universe:

• Ensure Cargo environment is configured
• Install typship with cargo install typship
• Run typship install local in the project root to deploy to the local @local namespace
• Import with #import "@local/universal-tongji-thesis:0.1.0" at the template beginning
  For more details, see Typship.

Online Editing

This template has been uploaded to Typst Universe. You can use Typst's official Web App for editing.

After logging into Typst Web App, click Start from template, select universal-tongji-thesis from the popup window, and create your project.

[!NOTE]

Typst Web App renders in the browser locally, so the real-time preview experience is almost identical to local editing.

By default, fonts may not display correctly in Web App because it doesn't provide Chinese typography fonts like SimSun or Times New Roman. To solve this, search for these font files:

• TimesNewRoman.ttf (including Bold, Italic, Bold-Italic versions)
• SimSun.ttf
• SimHei.ttf
• FangSong.ttf
• Kaiti.ttf

Upload these files to the project root directory, or create a fonts folder for better organization. Typst Web App will automatically load these fonts.

Since fonts need to be downloaded every time you open a project in Typst Web App, and Chinese fonts are large and slow to load, we recommend local editing.

Features / Roadmap

Known Issues

Typography

Although the font and size settings in this Typst template match the original Word template, there are still visual differences in paragraph layout due to character spacing, line spacing, and paragraph spacing.
