Typst-Paper-Template

Following the official tutorial, I create a single-column paper template for general use. You can use it for papers published on SSRN etc.

How to use

Use as a template package

Typst integrated the template with their official package manager. You can use it as the other third-party packages.

You only need to enter the following command in the terminal to initialize the template.

typst init @preview/ssrn-scribe

It will generate a subfolder ssrn-scribe including the main.typ and extra.typ files in the current directory with the latest version of the template.

Warning

Before version 0.6.0, this template has integrated with some other packages for a wide range of use. However, to make the template more flexible, all integrated packages are removed.

All the integrated packages have been saved in the extra.typ file and they have been imported to the main.typ file.

If you do not want to use them, you can comment out the import statement in the main.typ file.

#import "extra.typ": *
#show: great-theorems-init

Mannully use

1. Download the template or clone the repository.
2. generate your bibliography file using .biblatex and store the file in the same directory of the template.
3. modify the main.typ file in the subfolder /template and compile it. Note: You should have paper_template.typ, main.typ and extra.typ in the same directory.

In the template, you can modify the following parameters:

maketitle is a boolean (compulsory). If maketitle=true, the template will generate a new page for the title. Otherwise, the title will be shown on the first page.
