Important notice regarding Tablex usage

Summary: Please use built-in Typst tables instead of tablex. Most of tablex's features were implemented in Typst 0.11.0, see the docs.

However, keep an eye for future tablex updates as there might be some interesting goodies ahead, including CeTZ support!

Details:

A large amount of tablex's features have successfully been upstreamed by this package's author to Typst's built-in table and grid elements (see the new Tables Guide, at https://typst.app/docs/guides/table-guide/, and the table element's reference, at https://typst.app/docs/reference/model/table/, for more information).

This effort was tracked in the following Typst issue: https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/3001

This means that, starting with Typst 0.11.0, many advanced table features can now be used with Typst grids and tables without tablex! This includes:

  • Per-cell customization (through table.cell(inset: ..., align: ..., fill: ...)[body], and #show table.cell: it => ... instead of map-cells);
  • Merging cells (colspans and rowspans, through table.cell(colspan: 2, rowspan: 2)[body]);
  • Line customization (you can control the stroke parameter of table.cell to control the lines around it, and you can use table.hline and table.vline which work similarly to their tablex counterparts - the equivalent of map-hlines and map-vlines is table(stroke: (x, y) => (left: ..., right: ..., top: ..., bottom: ...)));
  • Repeatable table headers (through table.header(... cells ...));
  • The features above are available within grid as well by replacing table with grid where applicable (e.g. grid.cell instead of table.cell).

Additionally, built-in Typst tables have support for features which weren't previously available within tablex, such as repeatable table footers (through table.footer and grid.footer).

Therefore, for the vast majority of use cases, you will no longer need to use this library.

There are a few observations:

  1. Tablex will still receive updates over time with extra features. In the next version (tablex 0.1.0), there will be support for CeTZ integration, which will allow you to easily annotate your tables using CeTZ (e.g. draw arrows between cells). If you're interested in such features, then tablex might still be useful for you in the future!
  2. Not all tablex features are present in built-in tables, at least yet. Therefore, if you happen to use the features listed below, you might still have to use tablex depending on your use case. It is expected, however, that built-in tables will eventually have support for most of the missing features in future Typst releases. Here's a non-exhaustive list of them:
    1. Built-in tables do not yet have the ability to expand table lines by some arbitrary length.
    2. The tablex fit-spans option, through which colspans and rowspans don't cause auto-sized columns and/or rows to expand, is not yet supported in built-in tables.
    3. Built-in repeatable table headers currently always repeat in all pages, whereas you can define in which pages a tablex header should be repeated.
  3. Regarding sponsorships: Any future sponsorships to the tablex author, @PgBiel, who was also responsible for upstreaming the various tablex features to built-in tables, will go not only towards extended maintenance of tablex, but also towards other general contributions to the Typst ecosystem and his other open-source contributions! More information here: https://github.com/sponsors/PgBiel/

If there any questions, feel free to open a thread in the Discussions page of this repository, or ping the author on Discord. Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout tablex's development and the upstreaming process. I hope you enjoy the new update, and have fun with tables! 😄

And make sure to keep an eye for future tablex updates. 😉

Table of Contents

Usage

NOTE: Please use built-in tables instead of this library (see notice above). The rest of the README is kept for reference purposes only.

To use this library through the Typst package manager (for Typst v0.6.0+), write for example #import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, cellx at the top of your Typst file (you may also add whichever other functions you use from the library to that import list!).

For older Typst versions, download the file tablex.typ from the latest release (or directly from the main branch, for the 'bleeding edge') at the tablex repository (https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex) and place it on the same folder as your own Typst file. Then, at the top of your file, write for example #import "tablex.typ": tablex, cellx (plus whichever other functions you use from the library).

This library should be compatible with Typst versions between v0.2.0 and v0.12.0 (inclusive). Using the latest Typst version is always recommended in order to make use of the latest optimizations and features available.

Here's an example of what tablex can do:

image

Here's the code for that table:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, rowspanx, colspanx

#tablex(
  columns: 4,
  align: center + horizon,
  auto-vlines: false,

  // indicate the first two rows are the header
  // (in case we need to eventually
  // enable repeating the header across pages)
  header-rows: 2,

  // color the last column's cells
  // based on the written number
  map-cells: cell => {
    if cell.x == 3 and cell.y > 1 {
      cell.content = {
        let value = int(cell.content.text)
        let text-color = if value < 10 {
          red.lighten(30%)
        } else if value < 15 {
          yellow.darken(13%)
        } else {
          green
        }
        set text(text-color)
        strong(cell.content)
      }
    }
    cell
  },

  /* --- header --- */
  rowspanx(2)[*Username*], colspanx(2)[*Data*], (), rowspanx(2)[*Score*],
  (),                 [*Location*], [*Height*], (),
  /* -------------- */

Features

Almost drop-in replacement for #table

(Update: tablex's syntax was designed to be compatible with Typst tables created up to Typst v0.10.0. The new table features introduced in Typst v0.11.0 use syntax which isn't compatible with tablex, so it won't be a drop-in replacement in that case. However, tablex does have its own syntax for those features, as will be explained below!)

In most cases, you should be able to replace #table with #tablex and be good to go for a start - it should look very similar (if not identical). Indeed, the syntax is very similar for the basics:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex

#tablex(
  columns: (auto, 1em, 1fr, 1fr),  // 4 columns
  rows: auto,  // at least 1 row of auto size
  fill: red,
  align: center + horizon,
  stroke: green,
  [a], [b], [c], [d],
  [e], [f], [g], [h],
  [i], [j], [k], [l]
)

image

There are still a few oddities in the library (see Known Issues for more info), but, for the vast majority of cases, replacing #tablex by #table should work just fine. (Sometimes you can even replace #grid by #gridx - see the line customization section for more -, but not always, as the behavior is a bit different.)

This is mostly a word of caution in case anything I haven't anticipated happens, but, based on my tests (and after tons of bug-fixing commits), the vast majority of tables (that don't face one of the listed known issues) should work just fine under the library.

Note: If your document is written in a right-to-left (RTL) script, you may wish to enable rtl: true for your tables so that the order of cells and lines properly follows your text direction (when combined with set text(dir: rtl)). This is necessary because tablex cannot detect that setting automatically at the moment (while the native Typst table can and flips itself horizontally automatically). See the tablex option reference for more information.

colspanx/rowspanx

Your cells can now span more than one column and/or row at once, with colspanx / rowspanx:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, colspanx, rowspanx

#tablex(
  columns: 3,
  colspanx(2)[a], (),  [b],
  [c], rowspanx(2)[d], [ed],
  [f], (),             [g]
)

image

Note that the empty parentheses there are just for organization, and are ignored (unless they come before the first cell - more on that later). They're useful to help us keep track of which cell positions are being used up by the spans, because, if we try to add an actual cell at these spots, it will just push the others forward, which might seem unexpected.

Use colspanx(2, rowspanx(2)[d]) to colspan and rowspan at the same time. Be careful not to attempt to overwrite other cells' spans, as you will get a nasty error.

Note (since tablex v0.0.8): By default, colspans and rowspans can cause spanned auto columns and rows to expand to fit their contents (only the last spanned track - column or row - can expand). If you'd like colspans to not affect column sizes at all (and thus "fit" within their spanned columns), you may specify fit-spans: (x: true) to the table. Similarly, you can specify fit-spans: (y: true) to have rowspans not affect row sizes at all. To apply both effects, use either fit-spans: true or fit-spans: (x: true, y: true). You can also apply this to a single colspan (for example) with colspanx(2, fit-spans: (x: true))[a], as this option is available not only for the whole table but also for each cell. See the reference section for more information.

Repeat header rows

You can now ensure the first row (or, rather, the rows covered by the first rowspan) in your table repeats across pages. Just use repeat-header: true (default is false).

Note that you may wish to customize this. Use repeat-header: 6 to repeat for 6 more pages. Use repeat-header: (2, 4) to repeat only on the 2nd and the 4th page (where the 1st page is the one the table starts in). Additionally, use header-rows: 5 to ensure the first (e.g.) 5 rows are part of the header (by default, this is 1 - more rows will be repeated where necessary if rowspans are used).

Also, note that, by default, the horizontal lines below the header are transported to other pages, which may be an annoyance if you customize lines too much (see below). Use header-hlines-have-priority: false to ensure that the first row in each page will dictate the appearance of the horizontal lines above it (and not the header).

Note: Depending on the size of your document, repeatable headers might not behave properly due to certain limitations in Typst's introspection system (as observed in https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex/issues/43).

Example:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, hlinex, vlinex, colspanx, rowspanx

#pagebreak()
#v(80%)

#tablex(
  columns: 4,
  align: center + horizon,
  auto-vlines: false,
  repeat-header: true,

  /* --- header --- */
  rowspanx(2)[*Names*], colspanx(2)[*Properties*], (), rowspanx(2)[*Creators*],
  (),                 [*Type*], [*Size*], (),
  /* -------------- */

  [Machine], [Steel], [5 $"cm"^3$], [John p& Kate],

Customize every single line

Every single line in the table is either a hlinex (horizontal) or vlinex (vertical) instance. By default, there is one between every column and between every row - unless you specify a custom line for some column or row, in which case the automatic line for it will be removed (to allow you to freely customize it). To disable this behavior, use auto-lines: false, which will remove all automatic lines. You may also remove only automatic horizontal lines with auto-hlines: false, and only vertical with auto-vlines: false.

Note: gridx is an alias for tablex with auto-lines: false.

For your custom lines, write hlinex() at any position and it will add a horizontal line below the current cell row (or at the top, if before any cell). You can use hlinex(start: a, end: b) to control the cells which that line spans (a is the first column number and b is the last column number). You can also specify its stroke (color/thickness) with hlinex(stroke: red + 5pt) for example. To position it at an arbitrary row, use hlinex(y: 6) or similar. (Columns and rows are indexed starting from 0.)

Something similar occurs for vlinex(), which has start, end (first row and last row it spans), and also stroke. They will, by default, be placed to the right of the current cell, and will span the entire table (top to bottom). To override the default placement, use vlinex(x: 2) or similar.

Note: Only one hline or vline with the same span (same start/end) can be placed at once.

Note: You can also place vlines before the first cell, in which case they will be placed consecutively, each after the last vlinex(). That is, if you place several of them in a row (before the first cell only), then it will not place all of them at one location (which is normally what happens if you try to place multiple vlines at once), but rather one after the other. With this behavior, you can also specify () between each vline to skip certain positions (again, only before the first cell - afterwards, all () are ignored). Note that you can also just ignore this entirely and use vlinex(x: 0), vlinex(x: 1), ..., vlinex(x: columns.len()) for full control.

Here's some sample usage:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, gridx, hlinex, vlinex, colspanx, rowspanx

#tablex(
  columns: 4,
  auto-lines: false,

  // skip a column here         vv
  vlinex(), vlinex(), vlinex(), (), vlinex(),
  colspanx(2)[a], (),  [b], [J],
  [c], rowspanx(2)[d], [e], [K],
  [f], (),             [g], [L],
  //   ^^ '()' after the first cell are 100% ignored
)

#tablex(
  columns: 4,
  auto-vlines: false,
  colspanx(2)[a], (),  [b], [J],
  [c], rowspanx(2)[d], [e], [K],
  [f], (),             [g], [L],
)

#gridx(
  columns: 4,
  (), (), vlinex(end: 2),
  hlinex(stroke: yellow + 2pt),
  colspanx(2)[a], (),  [b], [J],
  hlinex(start: 0, end: 1, stroke: yellow + 2pt),
  hlinex(start: 1, end: 2, stroke: green + 2pt),
  hlinex(start: 2, end: 3, stroke: red + 2pt),
  hlinex(start: 3, end: 4, stroke: blue.lighten(50%) + 2pt),
  [c], rowspanx(2)[d], [e], [K],
  hlinex(start: 2),
  [f], (),             [g], [L],
)

image

Bulk line customization

You can also bulk-customize lines by specifying map-hlines: h => new_hline and map-vlines: v => new_vline. This includes any automatically generated lines. For example:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, colspanx, rowspanx

#tablex(
  columns: 3,
  map-hlines: h => (..h, stroke: blue),
  map-vlines: v => (..v, stroke: green + 2pt),
  colspanx(2)[a], (),  [b],
  [c], rowspanx(2)[d], [ed],
  [f], (),             [g]
)

image

Customize every single cell

Cells can be customized entirely. Instead of specifying content (e.g. [text]) as a table item, you can specify cellx(property: a, property: b, ...)[text], which allows you to customize properties, such as:

  • colspan: 2 (same as using colspanx(2, ...)[...])
  • rowspan: 3 (same as using rowspanx(3, ...)[...])
  • align: center (override whole-table alignment for this cell)
  • fill: blue (fill just this cell with that color)
  • inset: 0pt (override inset/internal padding for this cell - note that this can look off unless you use auto columns and rows)
  • x: 5 (arbitrarily place the cell at the given column, beginning at 0 - may error if conflicts occur)
  • y: 6 (arbitrarily place the cell at the given row, beginning at 0 - may error if conflicts occur)

Additionally, instead of specifying content to the cell, you can specify a function (column, row) => content, allowing each cell to be aware of where it's positioned. (Note that positions are recorded in the cell's .x and .y attributes, and start as auto unless you specify otherwise.)

For example:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, cellx, colspanx, rowspanx

#tablex(
  columns: 3,
  fill: red,
  align: right,
  colspanx(2)[a], (),  [beeee],
  [c], rowspanx(2)[d], cellx(fill: blue, align: left)[e],
  [f], (),             [g],

  // place this cell at the first column, seventh row
  cellx(colspan: 3, align: center, x: 0, y: 6)[hi I'm down here]
)

image

Bulk customization of cells

To customize multiple cells at once, you have a few options:

  1. map-cells: cell => cell (given a cell, returns a new cell). You can use this to customize the cell's attributes, but also to change its positions (however, avoid doing that as it can easily generate conflicts). You can access the cell's position with cell.x and cell.y. All other attributes are also accessible and changeable (see the Reference further below for a list). Return something like (..cell, fill: blue), for example, to ensure the other properties (including the cell type marker) are kept. (Calling cellx here is not necessary. If overriding the cell's content, use content: [whatever]). This is useful if you want to, for example, customize a cell's fill color based on its contents, or add some content to every cell, or something similar.

  2. map-rows: (row_index, cells) => cells (given a row index and all cells in it, return a new array of cells). Allows customizing entire rows, but note that the cells in the cells parameter can be none if they're some position occupied by a colspan or rowspan of another cell. Ensure you return the cells in the order you were given, including the nones, for best results. Also, you cannot move cells here to another row. You can change the cells' columns (by changing their x property), but that will certainly generate conflicts if any col/rowspans are involved (in general, you cannot bulk-change col/rowspans without map-cells).

  3. map-cols: (col_index, cells) => cells (given a column index and all cells in it, return a new array of cells). Similar to map-rows, but for customizing columns. You cannot change the column of any cell here. (To do that, map-cells is required.) You can, however, change its row (with y, but do that sparingly), and, of course, all other properties.

Note: Execution order is map-cells => map-rows => map-cols.

Example:

#import "@preview/tablex:0.0.9": tablex, colspanx, rowspanx

#tablex(
  columns: 4,
  auto-vlines: true,

  // make all cells italicized
  map-cells: cell => {
    (..cell, content: emph(cell.content))
  },

  // add some arbitrary content to entire rows
  map-rows: (row, cells) => cells.map(c =>
    if c == none {
      c  // keeping 'none' is important
    } else {
      (..c, content: [#c.content\ *R#row*])
    }
  ),

  // color cells based on their columns
  // (using 'fill: (column, row) => color' also works
  // for this particular purpose)
  map-cols: (col, cells) => cells.map(c =>
    if c == none {
      c
    } else {
      (..c, fill: if col < 2 { blue } else { yellow })
    }
  ),

  colspanx(2)[a], (),  [b], [J],
  [c], rowspanx(2)[dd], [e], [K],
  [f], (),             [g], [L],
)

Another example (summing columns):

#gridx(
  columns: 3,
  rows: 6,
  fill: (col, row) => (blue, red, green).at(calc.rem(row + col - 1, 3)),
  map-cols: (col, cells) => {
    let last = cells.last()
    last.content = [
      #cells.slice(0, cells.len() - 1).fold(0, (acc, c) => if c != none { acc + eval(c.content.text) } else { acc })
    ]
    last.fill = aqua
    cells.last() = last
    cells
  },
  [0], [5], [10],
  [1], [6], [11],
  [2], [7], [12],
  [3], [8], [13],
  [4], [9], [14],

Known Issues

  • Filled cells will partially overlap with horizontal lines above them (see https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex/issues/4).

    • To be fixed in a future rework of the table drawing process.
  • Table lines don't play very well with column and row gutter when a colspan or rowspan is used. They may be missing or be cut off by gutters.

  • Repeatable table headers might not behave properly depending on the size of your document or other factors (https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex/issues/43).

  • Using tablex (especially when using repeatable header rows) may cause a warning, "layout did not converge within 5 attempts", to appear on recent Typst versions (https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex/issues/38). This warning is due to how tablex works internally and is not your fault (in principle), so don't worry too much about it (unless you're sure it's not tablex that is causing this).

  • Rows with fractional height (such as 2fr) have zero height if the table spans more than one page. This is because fractional row heights are calculated on the available height of the first page of the table, which is something that the default #table can circumvent using internal code. This won't be fixed for now. (Columns with fractional width work fine, provided all pages the table is in have the same width, and the page width isn't auto (which forces fractional columns to be 0pt, even in the default #table).)

  • Rotation (via Typst's #rotate) of text only affects the visual appearance of the text on the page, but does not change its dimensions as they factor into the layout. This leads to certain visual issues, such as rotated text potentially overflowing the cell height without being hyphenated or, inversely, being hyphenated even though there is enough space vertically (https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex/issues/59). This is a known issue with Typst (perhaps, in the future, #rotate may get a setting to affect layout). As a workaround for the text hyphenation problem, the content can be boxed (and thus grouped together) with #box (e.g., rowspanx(7, box(rotate(-90deg, [*donothyphenatethis*])))), or hyphenation can be prevented by setting #text(hyphenate: false, ...) (e.g., colspanx(2, text(hyphenate: false, rotate(-90deg, [*donothyphenatethis*])))), as also discussed in https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex/issues/59; another alternative is to use #place, e.g. aligning to center + horizon: cellx(place(center + horizon, rotate(-90deg, [*donothyphenatethis*]))), which probably allows the most control over the in-cell layout, since it simply draws the rotated content without having it occupy any space (letting you define that by yourself, e.g. using box(width: 1em, height: 2em, place(...))).

  • tablex can potentially be slower and/or take longer to compile than the default table (especially when the table spans a lot of pages). Please use the latest Typst version to reduce this problem (each version has been bringing further improvements in this sense). Still, we are looking for ways to better optimize the library (see more discussion at https://github.com/PgBiel/typst-tablex/issues/5 - feel free to give some input!). However, re-compilation is usually fine thanks to Typst's built-in memoization.

  • The internals of the library still aren't very well documented; I plan on adding more info about this eventually.

  • Please open a GitHub issue for anything weird you come across (make sure others haven't reported it first).

Reference

Basic types and functions

  1. cellx: Represents a table cell, and is initialized as follows:

    #let cellx(content,
      x: auto, y: auto,
      rowspan: 1, colspan: 1,
      fill: auto, align: auto,
      inset: auto,
      fit-spans: auto
    ) = (
      tablex-dict-type: "cell",
      content: content,
      rowspan: rowspan,
      colspan: colspan,
      align: align,
      fill: fill,
      inset: inset,
      fit-spans: fit-spans,
      x: x,
      y: y,
    )
    

    where:

    • tablex-dict-type is the type marker
    • content is the cell's content (either content or a function with (col, row) => content)
    • rowspan is how many rows this cell spans (default 1)
    • colspan is how many columns this cell spans (default 1)
    • align is this cell's align override, such as "center" (default auto to follow the rest of the table)
    • fill is this cell's fill override, such as "blue" (default auto to follow the rest of the table)
    • inset is this cell's inset override, such as 5pt (default auto to follow the rest of the table)
    • fit-spans allows overriding the table-wide fit-spans setting for this specific cell (e.g. if this cell has a colspan greater than 1, fit-spans: (x: true) will cause it to not affect the sizes of auto columns).
    • x is the cell's column index (0..len-1) - auto indicates it wasn't assigned yet
    • y is the cell's row index (0..len-1) - auto indicates it wasn't assigned yet
  2. hlinex: represents a horizontal line:

    #let hlinex(
      start: 0, end: auto, y: auto,
      stroke: auto,
      stop-pre-gutter: auto, gutter-restrict: none,
      stroke-expand: true,
      expand: none
    ) = (
      tablex-dict-type: "hline",
      start: start,
      end: end,
      y: y,
      stroke: stroke,
      stop-pre-gutter: stop-pre-gutter,
      gutter-restrict: gutter-restrict,
      stroke-expand: stroke-expand,
      expand: expand,
      parent: none,
    )
    

    where:

    • tablex-dict-type is the type marker
    • start is the column index where the hline starts from (default 0, a.k.a. the beginning)
    • end is the last column the hline touches (default auto, a.k.a. all the way to the end)
      • Note that hlines will not be drawn over cells with colspan larger than 1, even if their spans (start-end) include that cell.
    • y is the index of the row at the top of which the hline is drawn. (Defaults to auto, a.k.a. depends on where you placed the hline among the table items - it's always on the top of the row below the current one.)
    • stroke is the hline's stroke override (defaults to auto, a.k.a. follow the rest of the table).
    • stop-pre-gutter: When true, the hline will not be drawn over gutter (which is the default behavior of tables). Defaults to auto which is essentially false (draw over gutter).
    • gutter-restrict: Either top, bottom, or none. Has no effect if row-gutter is set to none. Otherwise, defines if this hline should be drawn only on the top of the row gutter (top); on the bottom (bottom); or on both the top and the bottom (none, the default). Note that top and bottom are alignment values (not strings).
    • stroke-expand: When true, the hline will be extended as necessary to cover the stroke of the vlines going through either end of the line. Defaults to true.
    • expand: Optionally extend the hline by an arbitrary length. When none, it is not expanded. When a length (such as 5pt), it is expanded by that length on both ends. When an array of two lengths (such as (5pt, 10pt)), it is expanded to the left by the first length (in this case, 5pt) and to the right by the second (in this case, 10pt). Defaults to none.
    • parent: An internal attribute determined when splitting lines among cells. (It should always be none on user-facing interfaces.)
  3. vlinex: represents a vertical line:

    #let vlinex(
      start: 0, end: auto, x: auto,
      stroke: auto,
      stop-pre-gutter: auto, gutter-restrict: none,
      stroke-expand: true,
      expand: none
    ) = (
      tablex-dict-type: "vline",
      start: start,
      end: end,
      x: x,
      stroke: stroke,
      stop-pre-gutter: stop-pre-gutter,
      gutter-restrict: gutter-restrict,
      stroke-expand: stroke-expand,
      expand: expand,
      parent: none,
    )
    

    where:

    • tablex-dict-type is the type marker
    • start is the row index where the vline starts from (default 0, a.k.a. the top)
    • end is the last row the vline touches (default auto, a.k.a. all the way to the bottom)
      • Note that vlines will not be drawn over cells with rowspan larger than 1, even if their spans (start-end) include that cell.
    • x is the index of the column to the left of which the vline is drawn. (Defaults to auto, a.k.a. depends on where you placed the vline among the table items.)
      • For a vline to be placed after all columns, its x value will be equal to the amount of columns (which isn't a valid column index, but it's what is used here).
    • stroke is the vline's stroke override (defaults to auto, a.k.a. follow the rest of the table).
    • stop-pre-gutter: When true, the vline will not be drawn over gutter (which is the default behavior of tables). Defaults to auto which is essentially false (draw over gutter).
    • gutter-restrict: Either left, right, or none. Has no effect if column-gutter is set to none. Otherwise, defines if this vline should be drawn only to the left of the column gutter (left); to the right (right); or on both the left and the right (none, the default). Note that left and right are alignment values (not strings).
    • stroke-expand: When true, the vline will be extended as necessary to cover the stroke of the hlines going through either end of the line. Defaults to true.
    • expand: Optionally extend the vline by an arbitrary length. When none, it is not expanded. When a length (such as 5pt), it is expanded by that length on both ends. When an array of two lengths (such as (5pt, 10pt)), it is expanded towards the top by the first length (in this case, 5pt) and towards the bottom by the second (in this case, 10pt). Defaults to none.
    • parent: An internal attribute determined when splitting lines among cells. (It should always be none on user-facing interfaces.)
  4. The occupied type is an internal type used to represent cell positions occupied by cells with colspan or rowspan greater than 1.

  5. Use is-tablex-cell, is-tablex-hline, is-tablex-vline and is-tablex-occupied to check if a particular object has the corresponding type marker.

  6. colspanx and rowspanx are shorthands for setting the colspan and rowspan attributes of cellx. They can also be nested (one given as an argument to the other) to combine their properties (e.g., colspanx(2)(rowspanx(3)[a])). They accept all other cell properties with named arguments. For example, colspanx(2, align: center)[b] is equivalent to cellx(colspan: 2, align: center)[b].

Gridx and Tablex

  1. gridx is equivalent to tablex with auto-lines: false; see below.

  2. tablex: The main function for creating a table with this library:

    #let tablex(
      columns: auto, rows: auto,
      inset: 5pt,
      align: auto,
      fill: none,
      stroke: auto,
      column-gutter: auto, row-gutter: auto,
      gutter: none,
      repeat-header: false,
      header-rows: 1,
      header-hlines-have-priority: true,
      auto-lines: true,
      auto-hlines: auto,
      auto-vlines: auto,
      map-cells: none,
      map-hlines: none,
      map-vlines: none,
      map-rows: none,
      map-cols: none,
      ..items
    ) = {
    // ...
    }
    

    Parameters:

    • columns: The sizes (widths) of each column. They work just like regular table's columns, and can be:

      • an array of lengths (1pt, 2em, 100%, ...), including fractional (2fr), to specify the width of each column
        • For instance, columns: (2pt, 3em) will give you two columns: one with a width of 2pt and another with the width of 3em (3 times the font size).
          • Note that percentages, such as 49%, are considered fixed widths as they are always multiplied by the full page width (minus margins) for columns. Thus, a column with a size of 100% would span your whole page (even if there are other columns).
        • auto may be specified to automatically resize the column based on the largest width of its contents, if possible - this is the most common column width choice, as it just delegates the column sizing job to tablex!
          • For example, if your auto-sized column contains two cells with Hello world! and Bye! as contents, tablex will try to make the column large enough for Hello world! (the cell with largest potential width) to fit in a single line.
          • However, note that often enough that's not possible, as increasing the column's size too much would result in the table going over the page's margin - perhaps even beyond the document's total width. Therefore, tablex will automatically reduce the size of your auto columns when they would otherwise cause the table to overrun the page's normal width (i.e. the width between the page's lateral margins).
            • Fixed width columns (such as 2pt, 3em or 49%) are not subject to this size reduction; thus, if you specify all columns' widths with fixed lengths, your table could become larger than the page's width! (In such a case, auto columns would be reduced to a size of zero, as there would be no available space anymore!)
        • when specifying fractional widths (1fr, 2fr...) for columns, the available space (remaining page width, after calculating all other columns' sizes) is divided between them, weighted on the fraction value of each column.
          • For example, with (1fr, 2fr), the available space will be divided by 3 (1 + 2), and the first column will have 1/3 of the space, while the second will have 2/3.
            • (1fr, 1fr) would cause both columns to have equal length (1/2 and 1/2 of the available space).
          • This is useful when you want some columns to just occupy all the remaining horizontal space in the page.
            • Note: If only one column has a fractional width (e.g. a single column with 1fr), it will occupy the entire available space.
          • Warning: fractional columns in tablex (much like in Typst's default tables) will not work properly in pages with auto width (the columns will have width zero) - this is because those pages theoretically have infinite width (they can expand indefinitely), so having columns spanning the entire available width is then impossible!
      • a single length like above, to indicate the width of a single column (equivalent to just placing it inside a unit array)
        • For instance, columns: 2pt is equivalent to columns: (2pt,), which translates to a single column of width 2pt.
      • an integer (such as 4), as a shorthand for (auto,) * 4 (that many auto columns)
        • Useful if you just want to quickly set the amount of columns without worrying about their sizes (columns: 4 will give you four auto columns).
    • rows: The sizes (heights) of each row. They follow the exact same format as columns, except that the "available space" is infinite (auto rows can expand as much as is needed, as the table can add rows over multiple pages).

      • Note: For rows, percentages (such as 49%) are fixed width lengths, like in columns; however, here, they are multiplied by the page's full height (minus margins), and not width.
      • Note: If more rows than specified are added, the height for the last row will be the one assigned to all extra rows. (If the last row is auto, the extra ones will also be auto, for example.)
        • Your table can have more rows than expected by simply having more cells than (# columns) multiplied by (# rows). In this case, you will have an extra row for each (# columns) cells after the limit. In other words, the amount of columns is always fixed (determined by the amount of widths in the array given to columns), but the amount of rows can vary depending on your input of cells to the table.
        • Adding a cell at an arbitrary y coordinate can also cause your table to have extra rows (enough rows to reach the cell at that coordinate).
      • Warning: support for fractional sizes for rows is still rudimentary - they only work properly on the table's first page; on the second page and onwards, they will not behave properly, differently from the default #table.
    • inset: Inset/internal padding to give to each cell. Can be either a length (same inset from the top, bottom, left and right of the cell), or a dictionary (e.g. (left: 5pt, right: 10pt, bottom: 2pt, top: 4pt), or even (left: 5pt, rest: 10pt) to apply the same value to the remaining sides). Defaults to 5pt (the #table default).

    • align: How to align text in the cells. Defaults to auto, which inherits alignment from the outer context. Must be either auto, an alignment (such as left or top), a 2d alignment (such as left + top), an array of alignment/2d alignment (one for each column in the table - if there are more columns than alignment values, they will alternate); or a function (column, row) => alignment/2d alignment (to customize for each individual cell).

    • fill: Color with which to fill cells' backgrounds. Defaults to none, or no fill. Must be either a color, such as blue; an array of colors (one for each column in the table - if there are more columns than colors, they will alternate); or a function (column, row) => color (to customize for each individual cell).

    • stroke: Indicates how to draw the table lines. Defaults to the current line styles in the document. For example: 5pt + red to change the color and the thickness.

    • column-gutter: optional separation (length) between columns (such as 5pt). Defaults to none (disable). At the moment, looks a bit ugly if your table has a hline attempting to cross a colspan.

    • row-gutter: optional separation (length) between rows. Defaults to none (disable). At the moment, looks a bit ugly if your table has a vline attempting to cross a rowspan.

    • gutter: Sets a length to both column- and row-gutter at the same time (overridable by each).

    • repeat-header: Controls header repetition. If set to true, the first row (or the amount of rows specified in header-rows), including its rowspans, is repeated across all pages this table spans. If set to false (default), the aforementioned header row is not repeated in any page. If set to an integer (such as 4), repeats for that many pages after the first, then stops. If set to an array of integers (such as (3, 4)), repeats only on those pages relative to the table's first page (page 1 here is where the table is, so adding 1 to said array has no effect).

    • header-rows: minimum amount of rows for the repeatable header. 1 by default. Automatically increases if one of the cells is a rowspan that would go beyond the given amount of rows. For example, if 3 is given, then at least the first 3 rows will repeat.

    • header-hlines-have-priority: if true, the horizontal lines below the header being repeated take priority over the rows they appear atop of on further pages. If false, they draw their own horizontal lines. Defaults to true.

      • For example, if your header has a blue hline under it, that blue hline will display on all pages it is repeated on if this option is true. If this option is false, the header will repeat, but the blue hline will not.
    • rtl: if true, the table is horizontally flipped. That is, cells and lines are placed in the opposite order (starting from the right), and horizontal lines are flipped. This is meant to simulate the behavior of default Typst tables when set text(dir: rtl) is used, and is useful when writing in a language with a RTL (right-to-left) script. Defaults to false.

    • auto-lines: Shorthand to apply a boolean to both auto-hlines and auto-vlines at the same time (overridable by each). Defaults to true.

    • auto-hlines: If true, draw a horizontal line on every line where you did not manually draw one; if false, no hlines other than the ones you specify (via hlinex) are drawn. Defaults to auto (follows auto-lines, which in turn defaults to true).

    • auto-vlines: If true, draw a vertical line on every line where you did not manually draw one; if false, no vlines other than the ones you specify (via vlinex) are drawn. Defaults to auto (follows auto-lines, which in turn defaults to true).

    • map-cells: A function which takes a single cellx and returns another cellx, or a content which is converted to cellx by cellx[#content]. You can customize the cell in pretty much any way using this function; just take care to avoid conflicting with already-placed cells if you move it.

    • map-hlines: A function which takes each horizontal line object (hlinex) and returns another, optionally modifying its properties. You may also change its row position (y). Note that this is also applied to lines generated by auto-hlines.

    • map-vlines: A function which takes each horizontal line object (vlinex) and returns another, optionally modifying its properties. You may also change its column position (x). Note that this is also applied to lines generated by auto-vlines.

    • map-rows: A function mapping each row of cells to new values or modified properties. Takes (row_num, cell_array) and returns the modified cell_array. Note that, with your function, they cannot be sent to another row. Also, please preserve the order of the cells. This is especially important given that cells may be none if they're actually a position taken by another cell with colspan/rowspan. Make sure the none values are in the same indexes when the array is returned.

    • map-cols: A function mapping each column of cells to new values or modified properties. Takes (col_num, cell_array) and returns the modified cell_array. Note that, with your function, they cannot be sent to another column. Also, please preserve the order of the cells. This is especially important given that cells may be none if they're actually a position taken by another cell with colspan/rowspan. Make sure the none values are in the same indexes when the array is returned.

    • fit-spans: either a dictionary (x: bool, y: bool) or just bool (e.g. just true is converted to (x: true, y: true)). When given (x: true), colspans won't affect the sizes of auto columns. When given (y: true), rowspans won't affect the sizes of auto rows. By default, this is equal to (x: false, y: false) (equivalent to just false), which means that colspans will cause the last spanned auto column to expand (depending on the contents of the cell) and rowspans will cause the last spanned auto row to expand similarly.

      • This is usually used as (x: true) to prevent unexpected expansion of auto columns after using a colspan, which can happen when a colspan spans both a fractional-size column (e.g. 1fr) and an auto-sized column. Can be applied to rows too through (y: true) or (x: true, y: true), if needed, however.
      • The point of this option is to have colspans and rowspans not affect the size of the table at all, and just "fit" within the columns and rows they span. Therefore, this option does not have any effect upon colspans and rowspans which don't span columns or rows with automatic size.

Changelog

v0.0.9

NOTE: Please use Typst's built-in tables instead of tablex (starting with Typst 0.11.0). Most of tablex's features were implemented in Typst's tables by the author of tablex.

v0.0.8

v0.0.7

I have begun work on bringing many tablex improvements to built-in Typst tables! In that regard, you can now sponsor my work on tablex and improving Typst tables via GitHub Sponsors! Consider taking a look :)

v0.0.6

v0.0.5

v0.0.4

v0.0.3

v0.0.2

  • Added support for Typst v0.3.0.
  • Fixed strokes - now lines will expand to not look weird when strokes are larger.
    • You can disable this behavior by setting stroke-expand: false on your lines.
  • You can now arbitrarily change your lines' sizes at either end with the option expand: (length, length); e.g. expand: (5pt, 10pt) will increase your horizontal line 5pt to the left and 10pt to the right (or, for a vertical line, 5pt to the top and 10pt to the bottom).
    • Support for negative expand lengths is limited (so far, only reduces length in the first cell the line spans).
  • Added some gutter fixes (not all gutter issues were fixed yet).

v0.0.1
