pinit-workflow

What problem does it solve?

Place, debug, and fix pinit annotations in Typst documents with a repeatable, strategy-driven workflow. It guides users through pin placement, highlight and box rendering, and robust positioning when edits cause drift, multi-pin scenarios, or container pagination. It also covers the full debug lifecycle, including coordinate grids, midpoint-based offsets for multiple pins, and safe transitions between placement strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Systematic placement strategies (Recipes A, B, and C) for robust annotation positioning across changes and layouts.
• Debug workflows with coordinate grids and debug modules to read exact pin and box coordinates.
• Handling multi-pin anchors via geometric midpoints and precise offset calculations for stable labeling, margins, or side notes.
• Safe recovery patterns to switch between pin-relative and absolute-placement approaches to preserve layout integrity.

Quick Start

Start by placing a pin, add a highlight and a box, then use pinit-point-from to position the annotation relative to the pin.
