v0.0.9

What's Changed

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.

(Still, keep an eye for future updates 🙂)

• Added compatibility with Typst v0.12.0 (#135)
• Added library usage notice to README
• Tablex is now dual-licensed under MIT/Apache-2.0 (#134)

Full Changelog: v0.0.8...v0.0.9

v0.0.8

What's Changed

• Added fit-spans option to tablex and cellx (#111)
  • Accepts (x: bool, y: bool). When set to (x: true), colspans won't affect the sizes of auto columns. When set to (y: true), rowspans won't affect the sizes of auto rows.
  • Defaults to false, equivalent to (x: false, y: false), that is, colspans and rowspans affect the sizes of auto tracks (columns and rows) by default (expanding the last spanned track if the colspan/rowspan is too large).
  • Useful when you want merged cells (or a specific merged cell) to "fit" within their spanned columns and rows. May help when adding a colspan or rowspan causes an auto-sized track to inadvertently expand.
• auto column sizing received multiple improvements and bug fixes. Tables should now have more natural column widths. (#109, #116)
  • Fixes some problems with overflowing cells (#48, #75)
  • Fixes auto columns being needlessly expanded in some cases (#56, #78)
    • For similar problems not fixed by this, please use the new fit-spans option as needed, or use fixed-size columns instead.
• Several performance optimizations and other internal code improvements were made (#113, #114, #115).
  • Documents with lots of tablex tables might now become up to 20% faster to cold compile. Give it a shot!
• Fixed extra fixed-height rows appearing to have auto height (#108).
• Fixed rows without any visible cells being drawn with zero height (#107).
  • Fixes some rowspans causing cells to overlap (#82, #105).

v0.0.7

What's Changed

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

• Allow gradients and patterns in fills (#87)
• Fixed a critical bug where line in tablex cells would misbehave (#80)
  • CeTZ and drawing in general should now work properly within tablex cells (see cetz-package/cetz#345).
  • Also fixes a problem with nested tables (#34)
• Fixed negative line expansion within a single cell (#84)
  • Negative line expansion across multiple cells isn't yet supported.
  • Thanks GitHub user @dixslyf for the great work on fixing and testing this!
• Made internal length calculation procedures more robust (#92, #94)
  • Fixes a potential incompatibility with (currently unreleased) Typst 0.11.0
• Added missing support for boolean types in Typst 0.8.0+ (#73)
• Added some keywords to tablex's typst.toml for better discoverability (#91)

Full Changelog: v0.0.6...v0.0.7

v0.0.6

What's Changed

• Added support for RTL tables with rtl: true (#58).
  • Default Typst tables are automatically flipped horizontally when using set text(dir: rtl), however we can't detect that setting from tablex at this moment (it isn't currently possible to fetch set rules in Typst).
  • Therefore, as a way around that, you can now specify #tablex(rtl: true, ...) to flip your table horizontally if you're writing a document in RTL (right-to-left) script. (You can use e.g. #let old-tablex = tablex followed by #let tablex(..args) = old-tablex(rtl: true, ..args) to not have to repeat the rtl parameter every time.)
• Added support for box's dictionary inset syntax on tablex (#54).
  • For instance, you can now do #tablex(inset: (left: 5pt, top: 10pt, rest: 2pt), ...).
• Fixed errors when using floating point strokes or other more complex strokes (#55).
• Added full compatibility with the new Typst 0.8.0 type system (#69).
• Added info about #rotate problems to "Known Issues" in the README (#60).
• Improved docs for tablex options columns and rows (#53).

Full Changelog: v0.0.5...v0.0.6

v0.0.5

What's Changed

• ⚠️ Minimum Typst version raised to v0.2.0
• Improved calculation of page/container dimensions by using the layout() function.
  • Fixes tables with fractional columns not displaying properly in blocks with auto width (#44; #39)
  • Fixes some nested tables overflowing the page width (#41)
  • Fixes bad interaction between tables with fractional columns and nested tables (#28)
  • Fixes table rotation messing up table size calculation (#52)
  • Probably fixes other issues not listed here as well.
• Added some guards for infinite lengths and auto-sized pages (#47).
• Fixed tablex crashes/improper behavior with em strokes and other types of strokes (#49).
• Added the tablex version number as a comment in the source file (as requested in #25).

Full Changelog: v0.0.4...v0.0.5

v0.0.4

• Added typst.toml to support Typst v0.6.0's soon-to-be-released package manager (see #22).
• Fixed a division by zero regression from v0.0.3 (#19).
• Fixed a bug where cells placed in arbitrary positions could force an extra empty row to appear (#16).
• Fixed hlinex(gutter-restrict: top) causing the hline to just disappear (#20).
• Fixed certain gutter-restrict lines disappearing when there's no gutter (#21).
• Fixed row gutter lines not properly splitting across pages (#23).

v0.0.3

• Added support for Typst v0.4.0 and v0.5.0.
  • The tablex options fill: and align: now accept arrays of values for each column (#13).
    • For example, fill: (red, blue) would fill the first column with red, the second column with blue, and any further columns would alternate between the two fill colors.
• Fixed the calculation of the size of auto rows and columns when a rowspan or colspan was used (#11).
• Fixed the calculation of the size of the last auto column when it was too long (#6).

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).

typst-tablex v0.0.1

First version released to the public. Use #import "tablex.typ: tablex, gridx, cellx, colspanx, rowspanx, hlinex, vlinex to use this library's features.
