Is it possible to create exams with student names automatically printed on them?

Typst generates only one PDF file per typst compile. Use external scripts to split and rename pages.

Allow using page number template for PDF to produce multiple PDF files

### Description Previously mentioned in [the forum](https://forum.typst.app/t/s…plitting-pdf-files-or-pulling-individual-pdf-page-from-pdf-file/6118/7?u=andrew), it makes no sense to restrict users from using `page-{0p}-of-{t}.pdf` as the output template name, since it's already available for PNG and SVG. And now there is [another similar post](https://forum.typst.app/t/will-it-be-possible-to-create-multiple-pdf-outputs-from-a-single-call-to-typst/6791?u=andrew). Doing [this](https://forum.typst.app/t/splitting-pdf-files-or-pulling-individual-pdf-page-from-pdf-file/6118/8?u=andrew): ```sh for page in $(seq 1 3); do typc --pages $page a.typ page-$page.pdf; done ``` or using other tools to split a single file into multiple is the current workaround. But since there is `--pages`, I feel like there is little work needed to add this natively. Basically all the API/infrastructure already exist. ### Use Case Support more automation/generation workflows.
