Bug description
I can't seem to get a list of figures using lof with format: typst, see "Steps to reproduce" example below.
It occured to me this is just a book feature. Using the content intro.qmd:
---
title: "Untitled"
---
# Introduction
This is a book created from markdown and executable code.
::: {#fig-1}
CONTENT
Caption
:::
In a book project that includes in _quarto.yml:
format:
typst:
lof: true
crossref:
lof-title: "List of Figures"
I get a "List of Figures" but it is empty:
Aside: without lof-title I get an empty title...possibly also a bug.
Steps to reproduce
Standalone intro.qmd:
---
title: "Untitled"
lof: true
format:
typst:
keep-typ: true
pdf:
keep-tex: true
---

Actual behavior
Rendering:
quarto render intro.qmd --to typst
Results in no table of figures:
Expected behavior
Something similar to pdf:
quarto render intro.qmd --to pdf
