Frequently Asked Questions
What is a visual Typst editor?
It's a rich-text (WYSIWYG) editor that generates Typst markup for you. You write and format like in Google Docs — headings, bold, lists, tables, equations — and the editor produces clean, compilable Typst source in real time. Flip to the Typst view anytime to see the generated markup.
Do I need to know Typst syntax to use it?
No. The visual editor writes the Typst for you. It's a great way to produce typeset documents without learning markup, and also a great way to learn Typst: switch to the Typst view and watch how your formatting translates to source code.
Can I write math equations?
Yes. Wrap math in dollar signs anywhere in your text — for example $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$ — and it becomes native Typst math in the generated source. The compiler validates it live, so the status badge tells you immediately if an equation has a syntax error.
Is the visual Typst editor free? Do I need an account?
It's completely free and requires no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser — the rich-text editing, the Typst generation, and the compilation via the official Typst compiler in WebAssembly. Your document never leaves your machine.
Can I export my document?
Yes. Export a finished PDF directly, or download the generated .typ source file to keep working in any Typst editor — including Underleaf's code-first Typst editor with AI assistance.
