Here i try to set a question paper. Is there an efficient method to do this? i mean at each change of type of question, i want numbering to change, but sublist items are always arabic

I’m not sure why you use emun for the exercise headings. But you can use a custom function with a counter to get the desired result.

Here you can found a rework of your first question
https://typst.app/project/r4sAkKpW52Z7QWF3fydAqD

This is the relevant part

#show heading.where(level: 1): set text(13pt, weight: "bold")
#show heading.where(level: 1): set align(center)

#set enum(numbering: "1.")

#counter("question").update(0)

#let question(title, mks, body) = [
#counter("question").step()
#context counter("question").display("I")
#h(0.25em)
#text(weight: "bold", [
  #title
  #h(1fr)
  #mks
])
#box(width: 80%, inset:(top: 0.8em), body)
]

Then you can use

= Part - A

#question("Fill in the Blanks", marks(0.5, 10))[
  + #blanks involves setting objectives and deciding in advance the actions to achieve them.
  + …
]

For numbers, you can use e.g. 1. and 2. to pin the enum numbers to specific values:

1. abc
def

2. ghi (this is 2 and was not reset)

For the numbering format, you don’t have to set enum(numbering: ...) each time. See here how to define numbering that changes for each enum level:

Thanks. This is wonderful. Making my way into learning typst!!

Nithin_M · July 18, 2025, 1:40am

just one clarification, what if i want to have that grid only for mentioning type of question and marks,but questions can take full width? can i save this formatting rule as a variable?

Mathemensch · July 18, 2025, 7:10am

Then you should just remove the box around the body.
The question type and marks are layouted without any grid in my example.

#let question(title, mks, body) = [
#counter("question").step()
#context counter("question").display("I")
#h(0.25em)
#text(weight: "bold", [
  #title
  #h(1fr)
  #mks
])
#body
]
