The following is an example how to control spacing before, after and within a list.

// assumes typst 0.12+

#set par(leading: 1em, spacing: 1em)
#show enum: set par(leading: 0.5em, spacing: 4em)
#show enum: set block(spacing: 6em)
#show enum: e => {
  show par: p => {
    p
    v(2em, weak: true)
  }
  e
}

// --

#lorem(20)

#lorem(20)

+ #lorem(20)

  #highlight[a] #lorem(20)

  + #highlight[b] #lorem(10)

  + #lorem(10)

+ #highlight[x] #lorem(20)

  + #highlight[y] #lorem(10)

  + #lorem(10)

+ #lorem(20)

#lorem(20)

#lorem(20)

The only thing here that I haven’t figured out yet is how to control spacing between list item and the nested list, that is, between “a” and “b” paragraphs, and between “x” and “y” paragraphs.

How is it possible to make it 4em instead of 2, and without altering the rest layout?

You could use the enum function combined with the parameter indent like this:

// assumes typst 0.12+

#set par(leading: 1em, spacing: 1em)
#show enum: set par(leading: 0.5em, spacing: 4em)
#show enum: set block(spacing: 6em)
#show enum: e => {
  show par: p => {
    p
    v(2em, weak: true)
  }
  e
}

// --

#lorem(20)

#lorem(20)

+ #lorem(20)

  #highlight[a] #lorem(20)

  #enum(
    indent: 2em,
    [#highlight[b] #lorem(20)],
    lorem(20),
  )

Unfortunately there is no parameter for the indent by level at the moment as discussed here, but you can hard code it like shown above. If you are interested, you can subscribe to the discussion on Github to stay up to date regarding the indent by level.

I need some time to return to my “typst” folder, maybe a week or more (it was October when I created this topic). Then I definitely mark your answer as a solution. Thanks a lot!
