How does one place content relative to the page margin?

As to the upper-casing of variables: In an earlier iteration I used a the name text and found that other things were failing. Renaming it to Text resolved the issue. I am sorry that I do not remember just where I did it—I think it was in a function-call argument name. I note that all Typst terms appear to be lowercase and this makes it less likely that I will redefine one accidentally.

See Add entry for `std` variable in documentation · Issue #6395 · typst/typst · GitHub. Just prefix stuff with std. if you override names. Uppercase takes more effort to type.

In formats other than Typst I have options to adjust font, language, spacing, alignment, ligature selection, margins, and more in typesetting to match the original appearance of quotations; so far with Typst I have settings for font and language.

Which margins, ligature selection, and alignment?

Separately, I’ve spotted this thing:

    box(width: 0pt,)[
      #align(right)[
        #text(baseline:Lower,size:Size,fill:Color)[#Text]]]

And here you add 2 spaces at the start, which may or may not affect the output. In the other topic, I still didn’t get the answer to my question:

@Andrew

Please try avoiding using markup square brackets in scripting if you continue to use scripting inside. It can add spaces in some cases. Can you share the reason you are using it? I don’t think documentation has this.
