How It Works

This extension compiles the Typst compiler to WebAssembly, allowing it to run entirely in your browser. The WASM module includes embedded fonts and runs in a Web Worker to keep the UI responsive.

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.85.0 or higher
  • Works on desktop VS Code and vscode.dev

Known Limitations

  • First load takes a few seconds while the WASM module initializes (~24MB with embedded fonts)
  • PDF export is not yet implemented
  • Only renders the first page in preview
