content

content(
..args-style: coordinatecontentstyle,angle: anglecoordinate,anchor: nonestr,name: nonestr,
) 

Positions Typst content in the canvas. Note that the content itself is not transformed only its position is.

content((0,0), [Hello World!])

To put text on a line you can let the function calculate the angle between its position and a second coordinate by passing it to angle:

line((0, 0), (3, 1), name: "line")
content(
  ("line.start", 0.5, "line.end"),
  angle: "line.end",
  padding: .1,
  anchor: "south", 
  [Text on a line]
)

// Place content in a rect between two coordinates
content((0, 0), (2, 2), box(par(justify: false)[This is a long text.], stroke: 1pt, width: 100%, height: 100%, inset: 1em))

..args-style:

coordinate or content or style

When one coordinate is given as a positional argument, the content will be placed at that position. When two coordinates are given as positional arguments, the content will be placed inside a rectangle between the two positions. All named arguments are styling and any additional positional arguments will panic.

angle:

angle or coordinate

Default: 0deg

Rotates the content by the given angle. A coordinate can be given to rotate the content by the angle between it and the first coordinate given in args. This effectively points the right hand side of the content towards the coordinate. This currently exists because Typst's rotate function does not change the width and height of content.

Styling

Root: content

padding:

number or dictionary

Default: 0

Sets the spacing around content. Can be a single number to set padding on all sides or a dictionary to specify each side specifically. The dictionary follows Typst's pad function: https://typst.app/docs/reference/layout/pad/

frame:

str or none

Default: none

Sets the frame style. Can be none, "rect" or "circle" and inherits the stroke and fill style.

Anchors

Supports border anchors.
