Wrap-It: Wrapping text around figures & content

Until typst/typst#553 is resolved, typst doesn’t natively support wrapping text around figures or other content. However, you can use wrap-it to mimic much of this functionality:

• Wrapping images left or right of their text

• Specifying margins

• And more

Detailed descriptions of each parameter are available in the wrap-it documentation.

Installation

The easiest method is to import wrap-it: wrap-content from the @preview package:

#import "@preview/wrap-it:0.1.0": wrap-content

Sample use:

Vanilla

#set par(justify: true)
#let fig = figure(
  rect(fill: teal, radius: 0.5em, width: 8em),
  caption: [A figure],
)
#let body = lorem(40)
#wrap-content(fig, body)

Changing alignment and margin

#wrap-content(
  fig,
  body,
  align: bottom + right,
  column-gutter: 2em
)

Uniform margin around the image

The easiest way to get a uniform, highly-customizable margin is through boxing your image:

#let boxed = box(fig, inset: 0.5em)
#wrap-content(boxed)[
  #lorem(40)
]

Wrapping two images in the same paragraph

#let fig2 = figure(
  rect(fill: lime, radius: 0.5em),
  caption: [Another figure],
)
#wrap-top-bottom(boxed, fig2, lorem(60))
