Key Points

Introduce and document synkit, a package designed to construct customizable syntactic trees and linguistic representations directly in Typst.
Implemented algorithms to parse bracket notation and render tree diagrams across four orientations (down, up, left, and right).
Created mechanisms to stack multiple syntax trees with shared arrow connections and cross-tree equivalence lines.
Integrated formatting controls and utility functions for generating numbered language examples and interlinear glosses.
Successfully supported complex grammatical structures, including movement traces, multidominance, and semantic annotations.
Provided customizable visual elements such as triangles, directional arrows, and adjustable formatting parameters for rapid document layout.

Implication

Software report presents synkit for rendering linguistic syntax trees in Typst, demonstrating automated diagram generation from bracket notation with support for complex structural annotations.

Abstract

synkit is a Typst package for drawing syntax trees from bracket notation. It supports a wide range of features, including triangles, arrows, movement traces, multidominance, semantic annotation, cross-tree equivalence lines, and formatting options for quick adjustments. Trees can be drawn in four directions (down, up, left, right), and multiple trees can be stacked with shared arrow connections. Besides trees, the package also offers functions for numbered examples and glosses. This document serves as the official documentation for synkit, providing examples and explanations for all available parameters and features.
