`lof` in `format: typst` doesn't produce a list of figures

[cwickham]

I have:

• searched the issue tracker for similar issues
• installed the latest version of Quarto CLI
• formatted my issue following the Bug Reports guide

Bug description

I can't seem to get a list of figures using lof with format: typst, see "Steps to reproduce" example below.

It occured to me this is just a book feature. Using the content intro.qmd:

---
title: "Untitled"
---

# Introduction

This is a book created from markdown and executable code.

In a book project that includes in _quarto.yml:

format: 
  typst:
    lof: true

crossref: 
  lof-title: "List of Figures"

I get a "List of Figures" but it is empty:

Aside: without lof-title I get an empty title...possibly also a bug.

Steps to reproduce

Standalone intro.qmd:

---
title: "Untitled"
lof: true
format: 
  typst:
    keep-typ: true
  pdf:
    keep-tex: true
---

Actual behavior

Rendering:

quarto render intro.qmd --to typst

Results in no table of figures:

Expected behavior

Something similar to pdf:

quarto render intro.qmd --to pdf

I believe the issue is the same for the list of tables.
It's easy to support that in the partials, but it seems to be handled by TypeScript/Pandoc.

[mcanouil]

I know how to fix it. I think the cleanest approach is to handle localised title and table of directly in the template.

#outline(title: title, target: figure.where(kind: kind))

With kind:

• quarto-float-fig
• quarto-float-tbl

[mcanouil]

FWIW, I have a generalised script to have any "list of" (with some opinionated style):

• https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-mcanouil/blob/main/_extensions/mcanouil/typst/partials/libs/list-of.typ

[mcanouil]

For the book, the issue is likely that the template does not know about quarto-float-fig and is looking for figure.
That's a different issue.
