Document types

Each template is a folder in templates/ with a default.typ; the function has the same name as the folder and is exported from lib.typ. Shared parts — DIN 5008 address block, accounting header, totals, title pages, footers, date and money formatting — live in templates/common/.

Two calling conventions:

• data — #invoice(data: json("…"), company: json("/data/company.json")). The content is a JSON file described by the linked schema. See Accounting documents.
• show rule — #show: concept.with(title: …, company: …) followed by the text. See Documents in Typst.

Schemas are published at https://casoon.github.io/typst-business-templates/schema/<name>.schema.json.

Accounting layout

Invoices additionally support seven languages, international layout, A4/US Letter and configured VAT or sales-tax components; see Invoice configuration.

Display options

The document-layout templates take show-title-page and show-footer (both true by default). The accounting templates read show_footer from metadata in the JSON.

Which ones you can see

The showcase shows a selection, each compiled from the example file shown next to it. All types have an example in examples/it-consultant/documents/, except the task list (in examples/digitalagentur/) and the handout (in examples/handout/).

Compact publications

Function	Default size	Content
publication	A4 portrait, 210 × 297 mm	Compact guides and printable intake forms, starting on page one
brochure	A4 landscape, 297 × 210 mm	Flowing compact overviews, with optional explicit page breaks

Both reuse the same frame, branding, language and metadata helpers. See Publications for printable components and layout limits.
