block-level. To integrate them into a paragraph, use a [`box`]($box) as with
other elements.
- A colon is now required in an "everything" show rule: Write `{show: it => ..}`

## January 30, 2023 { #_ }
[Go to the announcement blog post.](https://typst.app/blog/2023/january-update)
- New expression syntax in markup/math
- Blocks cannot be directly embedded in markup anymore
- Like other expressions, they now require a leading hashtag
- More expressions available with hashtag, including literals (`[#"string"]`)
as well as field access and method call without space: `[#emoji.face]`
- New import syntax
- `[#import "module.typ"]` creates binding named `module`
- `[#import "module.typ": a, b]` or `[#import "module.typ": *]` to import
items
- `[#import emoji: face, turtle]` to import from already bound module
- New symbol handling
- Removed symbol notation
- Symbols are now in modules: `{sym}`, `{emoji}`, and `{math}`
- Math module also reexports all of `{sym}`
- Modified through field access, still order-independent
- Unknown modifiers are not allowed anymore
- Support for custom symbol definitions with `symbol` function
- Symbols now listed in documentation
- New `{math}` module
- Contains all math-related functions
- Variables and function calls directly in math (without hashtag) access this
module instead of the global scope, but can also access local variables
- Can be explicitly used in code, e.g. `[#set math.vec(delim: "[")]`
- Delimiter matching in math
- Any opening delimiters matches any closing one
- When matched, they automatically scale
- To prevent scaling, escape them
- To forcibly match two delimiters, use `lr` function
- Line breaks may occur between matched delimiters
- Delimiters may also be unbalanced
- You can also use the `lr` function to scale the brackets (or just one
bracket) to a specific size manually
- Multi-line math with alignment
- The `\` character inserts a line break
- The `&` character defines an alignment point
- Alignment points also work for underbraces, vectors, cases, and matrices
- Multiple alignment points are supported
- More capable math function calls
- Function calls directly in math can now take code expressions with hashtag
- They can now also take named arguments
- Within math function calls, semicolons turn preceding arguments to arrays to
support matrices: `[$mat(1, 2; 3, 4)$]`
- Arbitrary content in math
- Text, images, and other arbitrary content can now be embedded in math
- Math now also supports font fallback to support e.g. CJK and emoji
- More math features
- New text operators: `op` function, `lim`, `max`, etc.
- New matrix function: `mat`
- New n-ary roots with `root` function: `[$root(3, x)$]`
- New under- and overbraces, -brackets, and -lines
- New `abs` and `norm` functions
- New shorthands: `[|`, `|]`, and `||`
- New `attach` function, overridable attachments with `script` and `limit`
- Manual spacing in math, with `h`, `thin`, `med`, `thick` and `quad`
- Symbols and other content may now be used like a function, e.g.
`[$zeta(x)$]`
- Added Fira Math font, removed Noto Sans Math font
- Support for alternative math fonts through `[#show math.formula: set
text("Fira Math")]`
- More library improvements
- New `calc` module, `abs`, `min`, `max`, `even`, `odd` and `mod` moved there
- New `message` argument on `{assert}` function
- The `pairs` method on dictionaries now returns an array of length-2 arrays
instead of taking a closure
- The method call `{dict.at("key")}` now always fails if `"key"` doesn't exist
Previously, it was allowed in assignments. Alternatives are `{dict.key = x}`
and `{dict.insert("key", x)}`.
