Figure width in typst: should this work?

[andrewpbray]

Description

The docs state that:

The default size of images may not reflect the behavior you are used to in other output formats. This is a problem that Typst, pandoc and Quarto are actively working to fix. In the meantime, you can manually specify image widths.

When you click through the link, you get to Figure Sizing, which presents this example:

---
format: typst
---

![Elephant](https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/images/html-figure.png){width=300}

However I'm getting this error when running on 1.5.56 on macos 14.6.1.

[typst]: Compiling template.typ to template.pdf...error: expected relative length or auto, found integer
    ┌─ template.typ:277:61
    │
277 │ #box(image("template_files/mediabag/html-figure.png", width: 300))
    │    

I've tested with local images and different width units but no dice.

The docs make me think this should work?

I believe this is fixed in 1.6.

For reference:

• qmd with typst format using plotnine #10494

Yep, I upgraded to v1.6.6 and it works (with the pt units).

Thanks!

Typst requires units on their image sizes, so if you're in an older version of Quarto, use 300pt instead. (we make this fix for you in 1.6, as @mcanouil alluded)
