Description
Description
See here for initial discussion on the Typst Forum. I'd like to enable line numbering inside e.g. a place environment, that continues the same numbering as the rest of the text.
Use Case
As an example, here is part of a template for a 2-column paper, with a floating title/abstract section.
#place(
top + center,
scope: "parent",
float: true,
)[
#text(size: 15pt, weight: "bold", title)
= Abstract
#box(width: 90%)[#par(justify: true)[#abstract]]
]
Where simply adding #set par.line(numbering: "1") before the title doesn’t work.

Research direction
Start with the place environment example and the par.line(numbering: "1") entry point, then review the linked Typst Forum discussion for the intended behavior. Done means line numbering works inside a floating place and continues from the surrounding text.
