I have used hei-synd-thesis:0.1.1 as a template for writing my dissertation however I want to change the front page to something custom and remove the Information about this report page but there isn’t a file for these.
Well, at least you can fork the template and rewrite the part that creates the front page. Not sure you can selectively replace pages in the document with Typst
Do I need to run Typst locally to do that? When using the webapp if I try to upload the custom version I run into an issue with having too many files in the project
copy the whole package in the web app and change it, then use it
do the same but locally
ask package author to add some customizability if it makes sense
If you hit a file count limit, then you can either reduce file count/combine them, switch to the CLI, or pay for Typst Pro.
I had this problem with one of my biggest projects where I had a ton of code snippets, which is why I hit the 100 files limit. I just had to upload it to the web app to be able to easily share it and modify. I had around 300 files. So the conclusion is that free file size count limit didn’t change. Instead, I had to make it less convenient and put them all in a single YAML file and then access them by key.
