Using a template

Start a new project from a template (recommended)

quarto use template copies the example .qmd and any supporting files (bibliography, CSL, etc.) into a fresh folder and installs the format extension:

quarto use template cwimpy/typst-templates/peer-review-memo

Run this from the parent directory where you want the project to live — Quarto will prompt for a name and create a new folder. Then:

cd <name-you-chose>
quarto render template.qmd

Add just the format to an existing project

If you already have a Quarto project and only want the format extension (no starter files):

quarto add cwimpy/typst-templates/peer-review-memo

Then in your .qmd:

---
title: "My review"
format: peer-review-memo-typst
---

Replace peer-review-memo with any of the template names listed above.
