Term List as a Table

The term list is the following syntax in typst:

Input	Document Result
/ term: description	term    description

This package allows laying out the term list as a regular table. By default, the terms form the first column and the descriptions are in the second column, but it can also be transposed. As an extension, additional columns can be added.

Example

Import the package and apply the default style:

#import "@preview/tabbyterms:0.1.0" as tabbyterms: terms-table
#show: tabbyterms.style.default-styles

Apply #terms-table[] to a term list to transform it to a table:

Input	Document Result
#terms-table[ / Package: tabbyterms / Technology: Typst / Subject: General, Mathematics, Linguistics / Category: Layout, Components ]	Package tabbyterms Technology Typst Subject General, Mathematics, Linguistics Category Layout, Components

As an extension, additional columns can be added by using lists in the description:

Input	Document Result
#terms-table[ / Term: - Explanation - Assumptions / X: - Explanatory variables - Non-random / Y: - Y1, ..., Yn observations - Pairwise independent / β: - Model parameters - Non-random ]	Term Explanation Assumptions X Explanatory variables Non-random Y Y1, …, Yn observations Pairwise independent β Model parameters Non-random
