Include multipage PDF in PDF rendering with Typst

[gabrielparriaux]

Description

When we want to include a multipage PDF into a Quarto document for rendering in PDF, it’s possible to use the \includepdf command from the pdfpages package.

Is there an equivalent to this command when we do rendering with Typst?

If there is no way to include a multipage PDF when rendering with Typst, is it possible to do some automated post-processing with the same result instead?

In my understanding, the post-render: option exists only for projects, but I read somewhere that it could be added some day to single Quarto documents. Is it available right now?

Thanks a lot for your advice!

Did you try the markdown syntax to include PDF? (if it does not work, it's likely because it's not implemented on Pandoc Typst writer or that there is no Typst command to do that)

This is a playground for Quarto.

Note that you can still use raw LaTeX/Typst for LaTeX/Typst output: https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/markdown-basics.html#raw-content

I don't think Quarto is the best place to ask such specific Typst question by the way.

I don't know what you are referencing here.
A project is defined by _quarto.yml. Since 1.4 (or 1.5), "single documents" are projects in many aspects (not all yet).

Here are the Typst forum/issue (at least the one easy to find):
