Introspection
Interactions between document parts.
This category is home to Typst's introspection capabilities: With the counter
function, you can access and manipulate page, section, figure, and equation
counters or create custom ones. Meanwhile, the query function lets you search
for elements in the document to construct things like a list of figures or
headers which show the current chapter title.
Most of the functions are contextual. It is recommended to read the chapter on context before continuing here.
