Overview

typst-business-templates is a set of Typst templates for business documents — invoices, offers, credit notes, reminders, letters, credentials, concepts, documentation, diagrams and more — plus two ways to fill them with data:

• docgen, a command-line tool. You keep your documents as JSON files (or write them directly in Typst), and docgen compiles them to PDF with your company data, branding and language.
• typst-business-templates, a Rust library on crates.io. Templates, locales and fonts are embedded in the crate and Typst runs in-process, so an application can produce the same PDFs without any external tool.

What it covers

• 20 document templates in two layouts: an accounting layout with a DIN 5008 address block and a four-column company footer, and a document layout with a title page. See Document types.
• Labels in seven languages (de, en, es, fr, it, nl, pt), selected by language in company.json.
• Branding from company.json: accent and primary colour, logo and one of ten font presets.
• Diagrams from JSON without coordinates: flow, tree, mindmap, architecture, timeline, swimlane, quadrant and roadmap layouts.
• Project-local templates: standard templates are extracted into .docgen/templates/ and kept in sync with the docgen version; forks in templates/ stay as you left them.

Where it stops

docgen does	docgen does not
Compile JSON or .typ files to PDF	Calculate totals or VAT for you — the JSON carries the numbers
Keep clients, projects and counters in plain JSON files	Send documents, track payments or book anything
Password-protect a PDF with --encrypt (via qpdf)	Produce e-invoices (ZUGFeRD / XRechnung)

How the docs are organised

• Getting started: install docgen and create a first document.
• Guides: JSON documents, documents written in Typst, diagrams and branding and languages.
• Reference: CLI commands, document types and the Rust library. Item-level API documentation lives on docs.rs.

Every document in the showcase was compiled by docgen from the example file shown next to it. A product overview is at typst-business-templates.casoon.de.

Project notes

The files PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, SIMPLIFICATION-PLAN.md, REVIEW-2026-01.md and DATABASE.md in this folder are internal planning notes (partly in German, partly outdated) and are not part of this site. They remain in the repository.
