TikZ Support

[pravinbansal-pt]

Unable to get tikz to work:

#import "@preview/mitex:0.2.5": *

#mitext(`
  \usepackage{tikz}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[draw] at (0,0) {some text};
  \node[draw,align=left] at (3,0) {some text\\ spanning three lines\\ with manual line breaks};
  \node[draw,text width=4cm] at (2,-2) {some text spanning three lines with automatic line breaks};
  \end{tikzpicture}
`)

Tikz is extremely complex, and is likely one of the last things that would be supported by mitex

Is it easier to reimplement TikZ or to get mitex to support all the parts of TeX that TikZ relies on?

mitex may leverage new PDF insert feature to help conversion, while it is not a real conversion.

1. extract tikz code and compile the figure to PDF using latex compilers.
2. embed the pdf to the converted typst document.

This will work for most "standalone" tikz figures in many papers.
