Touying: an extensible presentation package for Typst

I talked a little about Typst yesterday and some of its upsides compared to LaTeX, but I wasn’t super sure if it was capable of making presentations. I’ve been using LaTeX’s Beamer package to handle slide presentations for about 7 years now and I really didn’t want to lose that functionality. Low and behold, Typst has a fully-featured packaged called Touying!

It works remarkably well and I think it might even come out ahead of Beamer in terms of convenience and even extensibility. I walk through setting up this example in the video:

#import "@preview/touying:0.7.4": *
#import themes.university: *

#show: university-theme.with(
  aspect-ratio: "16-9",
  config-info(
    title: [bob],
    author: [Max],
    logo: [#image("Downloads/rpilogo.png", width: 1in, height: 1in)]
  )
)

#title-slide()

= bob

bob

== testing

Here's an equation
#pause
$
  integral^b_a f(x) dif x
$

Which looks like this:
