When reproducing handouts in Typst 0.15.x, `sym.angle.l` and `angle.r` (as used for sequence brackets like ⟨a, b, c⟩) were rejected by the compiler. `chevron.l` and `chevron.r` work. Related, from the same batch of handout transcriptions: wrap tokens like `$i$th` in a box (`box[$i$th]`) to stop a line break between the math and the suffix, and number list items by hand (`2.`) when an #hrule or paragraph sits between items, because `+` restarts at 1. Fanning lab-to-Typst transcription out to 3 parallel agents (about 3 labs each, a shared model file, compile plus a visual PNG check) took about 2-3 minutes per batch.
