docs/typ: the Typst documentation corpus

  style.typ          every semantic function, the palette and the topic
                     ids; the only place they are defined. Each function
                     looks at target(): it draws itself for paged output
                     and emits HTML elements under --features html.
  cheatsheet.typ     content: facts as markup and the calls below, no
                     layout. Later topics (guide, scripting, reference,
                     building) go beside it as their own content files.
  cheatsheet-a4.typ  output wrapper: the one-page A4 cheatsheet.
  book.typ           output wrapper: an A4 book, title page, contents,
                     every chapter, then the tutor (src/tutor.txt).
  ../site/site.typ   output wrapper: the website, a page per chapter plus
                     the landing page and the tutor, in one Typst bundle
                     run (see docs/site/README).
                     Wrappers hold layout only, never facts.

Chapters: `chapters` in style.typ lists them in reading order (guide, setup,
cheatsheet, scripting, reference, themes, building), each with its content file,
or none while it is not written (the outputs show a placeholder). To add
a topic, write docs/typ/<id>.typ and set its `file`. Wrappers include it
with heading offset 1, so its = headings sit under the chapter title,
which is labelled ch-<id>. Labels on headings must be unique across all
the topics, since the book and the HTML hold them all.

Build (from the repo root):

  typst compile --ignore-system-fonts docs/typ/cheatsheet-a4.typ
  zig build cheatsheet -Dplatform=tty --prefix DIR   # DIR/share/doc/pardes/cheatsheet.pdf
  typst compile --root . --ignore-system-fonts docs/typ/book.typ
  typst compile --root . --format bundle --features bundle,html docs/site/site.typ OUT
  zig build site -Dplatform=tty --prefix DIR         # DIR/share/doc/pardes/site/
(--root . because book and HTML read the tutor from src/tutor.txt.)

The contract for content files
------------------------------
Start a content file with
  #import "style.typ": key, keys, btn, chord, word, tag, addr, file, cmd, doc, pairs
(a content file does not import page setup; the same file goes into the
book, the HTML and, for the cheatsheet, the A4 page)
and use plain markup (= headings, - lists, `raw`, *strong*) plus these.
Never set page, fonts, colours or spacing in a content file; ask for a
new function instead.

  word(w)          a builtin or tag word, drawn as it sits in a tag.
                   #word("Save")   #word("Tty+bash")
  key(k)           one press, or a sequence of presses separated by
                   spaces, drawn as one pill (Ctrl + w, g › g).
                   Modifiers: Ctrl-, Alt-, Shift-.
                   #key("Ctrl-w")   #key("g g")   #key("SPC f c")
  keys(..ks)       alternatives listed together, each its own key.
                   #keys("h", "j", "k", "l")   #keys("g d", "g r")
  btn(b, shift:)   a mouse button, B1 B2 (the wheel) or B3, drawn as a
                   mouse with that part filled; shift: true adds a ⇧.
                   #btn("B3")   #btn("B1", shift: true)
  chord(..bs)      a chord: the first button held, each next clicked.
                   #chord("B2", "B1")   #chord("B1", "B2", "B3")
  tag(words, path:)
                   a whole default tagline; words must be a default tag.
                   #tag("Save Tty Collapse Del", path: "/home/me/notes.txt")
  addr(a)          a look address.            #addr("file:12:5")
  file(p)          a 9P path.                 #file("pane/N/addr")
  cmd(c)           a shell line, as a block.  #cmd("echo Save > $m/pane/$n/ctl")
  doc(id, section:)
                   a pointer to a chapter, or a section of it by the label
                   on its heading. Ids: guide setup cheatsheet scripting
                   reference themes building (and the older tags fs
                   config keys detached, mapped in `topics`). A link in
                   the book and the HTML; on the A4 sheet, its name.
                   #doc("building", section: "listeners")
  pairs(split:, ..cells)
                   a two-column table, a thing and its meaning, rows on
                   alternating tints; split: 2 sets it as two tables side
                   by side on paper. Cells alternate left, right.
                   #pairs(key("u"), [undo], keys("i", "a"), [insert])

The drift test
--------------
The unit test "docs/typ names only words, keys and default tags that
exist" (src/config.zig) reads every .typ here and fails when a word(),
key(), keys() or tag() names a builtin, key binding or default tag that
pardes no longer has. Pass these functions string literals, so the test
can read them.

Only embedded fonts (Libertinus Serif, DejaVu Sans Mono), so output is the
same on every machine. docs/typ/cheatsheet-a4.pdf is committed, as the
other docs PDFs are; re-render it when the content changes.
