Document templates for the ISC curricula

These are the official templates for reports, bachelor theses, project executive summaries, and posters for the ISC degree programme at the School of Engineering in Sion. They are designed to help students focus on content by using Typst as the typesetting software.

Using the template, on the Web

In the Typst web application, start with the isc-hei-* document and voilà !

Using one of templates in your shell

The package provides the following templates :

@preview/isc-hei-document
@preview/isc-hei-report
@preview/isc-hei-bthesis
@preview/isc-hei-exec-summary
@preview/isc-hei-tb-assignment
@preview/isc-hei-poster

First start by installing Typst on your machine. You can then initialize the project with the command :

typst init @preview/isc-hei-report

This template will initialize an sample report with sensible default values.

For the latest template for a bachelor thesis, use:

typst init @preview/isc-hei-bthesis

or if you need a specific version, use:

typst init @preview/isc-hei-bthesis:0.5.0

For the latest template of the executive summary, use:

typst init @preview/isc-hei-exec-summary

Installing fonts locally

If you are running typst locally, you might miss some of the required fonts. For your convenience, a font download script is included in this repos. As all the fonts are released under the SIL Open Font License, there are no file inclusion issues here.

To the install the fonts locally in a Linux environment, simply type

source install_fonts.sh

from within the fonts directory.

Usage

When used locally, creating a PDF is straightforward with the command

typst compile report.typ

Even nicer, the following command compiles the report every time the file is modified.

typst watch report.typ

Another nice possibility is of course to use VScod(e | ium) via the Typst LSP plugin which enables direct compilation.

Questions and help
