Numbering heading using #show - Typst


When I started using the show method in Typst, I lost the heading numbering. How can i get it back?

#show heading: it => [
    #block(fill:white, outset: 5pt, radius: 20%, 
    underline(stroke: rgb(39, 174, 96) + 1.5pt, offset: 1.75pt)[#it.body])
]

Solution

  • Your show function uses it.body, so only the heading text (body) is showing. You can fix this by displaying it instead of it.body, which contains information about the numbering:

    #set heading(numbering: "1.")
    #show heading: it => [
        #block(fill:white, outset: 5pt, radius: 20%, 
        underline(stroke: rgb(39, 174, 96) + 1.5pt, offset: 1.75pt)[#it])
    ]
    
    = Heading

    If you want to also underline the whitespace between the number and heading, you can explicitly display the heading number and body separately:

    #set heading(numbering: "1.")
    #show heading: it => [
      #block(
        fill: white,
        outset: 5pt,
        radius: 20%,
        underline(stroke: rgb(39, 174, 96) + 1.5pt, offset: 1.75pt)[
          #counter(heading).display() #it.body
        ],
      )
    ]
    
    = Heading
