How do I align pre/suffixes of enum.item numbering?

[707]

Hi all,

I’m trying to switch from LaTeX to Typst and would like to align the parentheses in my numbered lists. Does anyone know how to do this?

LaTeX example, parentheses aligned:

Created using this code (exam document class):

\renewcommand{\partshook}{
  \renewcommand\partlabel{(\hbox to 7pt{\hfil \thepartno \hfil})}
}

Current list in Typst, parentheses not aligned:

Styled using numbly as follows:

set enum(
    full:true, 
    numbering: numbly("{1:1}.", "({2:a})" )
  )

Thanks in advance!

This might be related to the font not being of the same width. One solution is to wrap the number in a box and set its width.

  #set enum(
    number-align: center,
    full: true,
    numbering: (..num) => {
      let pos = num.pos()
      if pos.len() == 1 {
        // level 1
        std.numbering("1.", ..num)
      } else if pos.len() == 2 {
        // level 2
        [(]
        box(width: .6em, [#std.numbering("a", pos.last())])
        [)]
      } else {
        // others level
      }
    },
  )
  + Qustion: #lorem(5)
    + #lorem(5)
    + #lorem(5)
    + #lorem(5)
    + #lorem(5)

This is exactly what I needed, thank you!
