The Deixis Guide

Mark a passage. Share its explanation. Draw the relationship.

Keep the main argument readable, with explanations where they belong. Deixis brings footnotes, margin notes, passage highlights, and connections to Typst documents and presentation slides.

Keep The Detail Close

One annotation can serve several passages. Shared passages keep the same note identity, marker, and accent.

A First Annotation

#import "@preview/deixis:0.2.0": *
#show: deixis-setup-notes

A useful result#deixis-footnote[A short explanation.]
is easier to read when its details have a place.

A wrapper creates the mark and explanation together. Set numbering: none for an unnumbered aside. Use id: when several passages should share one note, or when you need to refer to it later.
