As we have seen in the previous chapter, Typst has functions that _insert_
content (e.g., the [`image`] function) and others that _manipulate_ content that
they received as arguments (e.g., the [`align`] function). The first impulse you
might have when you want, for example, to justify the report, could be to look
for a function that does that and wrap the complete document in it.

Fortunately, Typst has a more elegant solution. With _set rules_, you can apply
style properties to all occurrences of some kind of content. You write a set
rule by entering the `{set}` keyword, followed by the name of the function whose
properties you want to set, and a list of arguments in parentheses.
