Can I create multiple output files with touying, e.g. first and second half of a presentation?

[kfold3]

I am using touying to create slides for my course this winter semester. Currently I have multiple files, one for each chapter. However, for ease of use and convenience, I want to work on a single .typ file, and add something like

== break file here

so that when I compile it, it creates two files/sets of slide.

Is this possible? If I want to go this route currently, I have to open the large PDF and then ‘re-print’ as PDF with the page numbers I want.

You probably want to read this post,

Can I configure my document (e.g. draft/release version, color theme) when creating a PDF without modifying the Typst file directly?

There absolutely is: the sys.inputs dictionary contains values that have been set from the command line, via the --input key=value syntax. To my knowledge, the web app currently doesn’t have a way to put values into that dictionary, so be aware of that. It’s often useful to have default values for these parameters, and check whether values are valid. Let’s say you want to assume --input theme=light and --input solutions=false, you could process the sys.inputs dictionary like this: let theme = …

It sounds possible to configure compilation to output parts of a document as long as they are probably indicated. Something like

#let part = int(sys.inputs.at("part", default: "0"))
// header
#if part == 0 or part == 1 {
  // part 1
} else if part == 0 or part == 2 {
  // part 2
}

Then you would compile with

typst c test.typ --input=part=1

for part 1 for example
