Recommended editor setup
fotobuch writes a Typst source file alongside the PDF.
For a live preview while you work, install
VS Code with the
Typst Preview
extension. Open the .typ file and the preview updates every time you run
fotobuch build.
Alternatively, just keep any PDF viewer open and reload after each build.
