typst table?

[jgunstone]

I'm a big quarto user and I use it to generate pdf documents using latex.
I'm excited about the .as_latex() functionality that has been added to great tables and think this could be a great way to improve the quality of the pdfs I generate.

simultaneously I'm also looking at whether to use typst rendering engine instead of latex when rendering pdfs with quarto
https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst.html
and was wondering if typst support is something that is being considered in great_tables ?

thanks for the awesome package :)

Hey, I think quarto can handle converting Great Tables to typst! Here are two places it's discussed

• https://quarto.org/docs/blog/posts/2024-07-02-beautiful-tables-in-typst/
• https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst.html#typst-css (note the table produced by the code example is pandas, but I think Great Tables work okay too?)

I can't remember if it handles automatically (e.g. a Great Table that renders to HTML should also render in typst). If it doesn't seem to work in typst, I'm happy to look closer
