Description

books enhancement typst

It would be good to expose as much as possible the options from the Typst Orange book template to avoid ease simple customisation to users without having them required to takes the typst-show.typ (kind of hidden) to make those, like changing the outline depth of the parts.

See the workaround requiring to be aware of typst-show.typ existence: https://github.com/orgs/quarto-dev/discussions/14269#discussioncomment-16314960

Description

I just read @cwickham's blog post on Quarto 1.9 and immediately turned one of my quarto books which rendered to HTML and PDF to now use typst.

Here's the repo: https://github.com/stephenturner/dstt

Here's the rendered book: https://dstt.stephenturner.us/Data-Science-Team-Training.pdf

In my _quarto.yml:

format:
  html:
    theme:
      - cosmo
      - brand
    code-link: true
    author-meta: "Stephen D. Turner"
  typst:
    theme: default
  epub:
    theme: default

(Side note question: the official docs show you can use format: typst, but doesn't show how to use typst with other formats, so I had to put the dummy theme: default under the typst heading).

Problem is my section heading pages attempt to put a mini TOC for that section, but the TOC bleeds off the pages.

Is there any workaround for this? Filing this here instead of an issue because I don't know if this belongs on Quarto, Typst, orange-book, or elsewhere.
quarto v1.9.36, MacOS 15.7.4.
