How can I get inline math output to SVG with 0 margin to be cropped propertly

My sample Typst file is as follows:

#set page(width: auto, height: auto, margin: 0pt)
$union.big_(a in A) X_a$

When compiled using the following command:

typst c -f svg test.typ

The resulting svg is cropped too much:

If I change the Typst code so that the math part is displayed on a separate line:

#set page(width: auto, height: auto, margin: 0pt)
$ union.big_(a in A) X_a $

and compile it with the same command, then the output is:

Is there anyway to make inline math also cropped properly? Though I can manualy change the margin value so that the desired content is not cropped, but this is not practical because the margin value depends on the font size, and I do not want to change the margin value every time I change the font size.

Inline math content by default uses “fake” boundaries so that the line spacing in paragraph remains consistent. For cases like yours, where you don’t need that consistency, you can explicitly tell Typst to use the “real” boundaries via the show-set rule

#show math.equation: set text(top-edge: "bounds", bottom-edge: "bounds")

Thanks. This perfectly solves my problem!

Another solution (that as far as I can tell produces the same result for your example) would be this:

$ inline(union.big_(a in A) X_a) $
// or as a show rule:
#show math.equation.where(block: false): it => $ inline(#it) $

While Eric’s solution overrides Typst’s default inline height treatment (which allows for regular line spacing), this uses a display equation, but styles the math inside it the same way as inline math.
