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

You probably want to read this post,

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
}
#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
