Is there a way to programmaticaly generate documents?

That likely means that, for example, if you want to pass a tuple of values from a database query, it would have to be converted to string, then in the typst template you would have to convert to a typst-native type.

So, if you need more versatility in objects, you may need to do string templating of some variety within python (i.e. jinja, or string templates, etc).

Actually for that case, you could use JSON or one of the other formats supported by Typst (and Python). Using templating (and then parsing in Typst) for that purpose should not be necessary:

For more complex data input needs, using one of the data loading functions is probably the best idea:

• directly in the command line: --input 'data={"some-num": 1, "some-bool": true}'
  then read via json.decode(sys.inputs.data)

(feel free to incorporate that into your response, so that it can be the canonical complete one)
