As far as I’m aware of the syntax highlighting only works for full paragraphs. When you want to show typst code inline, I think you have to use “`” instead. The problem is, that the “preformatted text” does no syntax highlighting. I think this would greatly improve readability of little code snippets you want to talk about inline.
Or am I missing something and it is already a thing 
?

I first overlooked that this is Meta and was confused because Typst can already do ```typ foo``` inline 
would you mind adding “on the forum” or something like that to the title?
Yeah that’s a downside of Discourse’s Markdown. I’m not sure how configurable that is though…
I don’t think it’s possible to have a shorthand option without a plugin.
In pandoc-style markdown (and others), you would write
`#let a = 0`{.typ}
I am unaware of any Discourse plugin for syntax highlighting inline code.
