[proposal] Syntax for the previous element #606
Comments
Using version 0.2.2, it seems like the same name can be used multiple times in a context, and only the latest usage stays addressable. So as a stopgap you can give all elements the name "{}" (or even "") by default and address the latest unnamed element like "{}.30deg" (or ".30deg")

{}
would refer to the last element (i.e., the line).Motivation
Although
name: "my-name"
would also serve for this purpose, I frequently find myself in a situation where I want to refer to the previous element as an starting point for the next element, and nothing more. Creating a label for this purpose seems an overkill and makes the syntax unnecessarily lengthy. I do believe that this proposal would make thetypst
syntax even more convenient. Regarding using"{}"
or something else, it is opened to discussions.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
