# MPI Bilingual Typst Template — Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
## Location
|
||||
|
||||
- Repo / project root: `~/documents/mpi/`
|
||||
- Template directory (contains `lib/`): `~/documents/mpi/translate-files/`
|
||||
- Template: `translate-files/lib/mpi-bilingual-template.typ`
|
||||
- Example usage: `translate-files/从物品整理到心灵整理/mindful-organizing.typ`
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
A single reusable Typst template for bilingual Chinese-English 静心学堂丛书
|
||||
publications. Host `.typ` files should contain almost no setup code — only an
|
||||
`#import`, a `#show: mpi-bilingual.with(...)` call, and the article content.
|
||||
|
||||
## Font choice
|
||||
|
||||
- **Chinese:** Noto Serif CJK SC (Google Fonts)
|
||||
- **English:** Noto Serif (Google Fonts), used as a freely available substitute
|
||||
for Times New Roman.
|
||||
|
||||
## Page and paragraph formatting
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Value | Rationale |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Paper | A4 | Standard publication size |
|
||||
| Margins | 2.5 cm all around | Matches existing documents |
|
||||
| Body size | 10.5 pt | 五号 per the formatting guide |
|
||||
| Line spacing (`leading`) | 1.5 em | 1.5× line height per the guide |
|
||||
| Paragraph spacing | 1.5 em | Equivalent to one blank line between paragraphs |
|
||||
| Alignment | justified | Matches the existing `mindful-organizing.typ` look |
|
||||
| First-line indent | 2 em | Keeps bilingual paragraphs visually distinct |
|
||||
| Heading numbering | none | Headings are written verbatim in the host file |
|
||||
| Heading spacing | `above: 2em`, `below: 1.2em` | Clear section breaks without page breaks |
|
||||
| Footnotes | 8 pt, left aligned | Per the formatting guide |
|
||||
|
||||
## Title page
|
||||
|
||||
Titles and subtitles are passed as free Typst content (`title-cn`, `title-en`,
|
||||
`subtitle-cn`, `subtitle-en`).
|
||||
|
||||
The gap between title and subtitle uses `linebreak()` inside a single paragraph
|
||||
so the spacing follows the `line-height: 1.5` rhythm instead of an arbitrary
|
||||
`v()` length. A larger `v(1.5em)` separates the Chinese block from the English
|
||||
block.
|
||||
|
||||
## Table of contents
|
||||
|
||||
The TOC shows only English headings with dotted leaders and page numbers.
|
||||
Chinese headings are displayed as compact section headers above their English
|
||||
counterparts. This mirrors the behavior of the old `helpers.typ` but lives in
|
||||
the template.
|
||||
|
||||
## Host file contract
|
||||
|
||||
A host file should look like this and nothing else:
|
||||
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
#import "../lib/mpi-bilingual-template.typ": mpi-bilingual
|
||||
|
||||
#show: mpi-bilingual.with(
|
||||
title-cn: [中文标题],
|
||||
title-en: [English Title],
|
||||
subtitle-cn: [——副标题],
|
||||
subtitle-en: [—Subtitle],
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
= 一、章节标题
|
||||
= I. Chapter Title
|
||||
|
||||
中文段落……
|
||||
|
||||
English paragraph …
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Compile with the helper script:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
~/documents/mpi/toolkit/scripts/compile-typst.fish ./从物品整理到心灵整理/mindful-organizing.typ [output.pdf]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or manually from the template directory (`~/documents/mpi/translate-files/`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/documents/mpi/translate-files
|
||||
typst compile --root . ./从物品整理到心灵整理/mindful-organizing.typ
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `--root .` is required because the import `../lib/...` would otherwise
|
||||
escape Typst's sandbox.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is intentionally not in the template
|
||||
|
||||
- No inline helpers like `#speaker` or `#quote-cn` in host files. The template
|
||||
sets global formatting only. Dialogue speakers can be marked with `**Name:**`
|
||||
when truly needed.
|
||||
- No automatic blue styling for scripture quotes, because reliably detecting
|
||||
quoted classics in plain text requires explicit markup.
|
||||
- No per-chapter footnote numbering; Typst's default continuous numbering is
|
||||
used.
