Inclusion of Typst Playground within the Forum

[vmartel08]

With the introduction of the Typst Playground, would it be possible to have a way for a user to, for example, post a code snippet on the forum and either:

• having the result displayed within the post next to the code snippet, or
• providing a link that could open that code snippet in the playground?

I guess a secondary question would be: Is there a way to pass some Typst code to the Typst via the URL?

Is there a way to pass some Typst code to the Typst via the URL?

I don’t think it’s possible yet. Or it’s not public. If it was, there would’ve been a share button or real-time URL update when you edit content (fat URL).

But I also want this. Otherwise, you have to separately share a block of code and someone must copy it, open the link, select all, paste.

I’m also pretty sure this is a “yet”. This is from shortly after the release on Discord:

[…] the playground was built on a very limited time budget and is a minimal first version for now.

What I can say is that we have more plans for the playground.

But keep in mind that major playground improvements (including forum integration) are probably way lower on the priority list than most language and web app features.
