= Introduction
Interlinear morpheme-by-morpheme glosses are common in linguistic texts to give
information about the meanings of individual words and morphemes in the
language being studied. A set of conventions called the *Leipzig Glossing Rules*
was developed to give linguists a general set of standards and principles for
how to format these glosses. The most recent version of these rules can be
found in pdf form at

provided by the Department of Linguistics at the Max Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Anthropology.
There is a staggering variety of LaTex packages designed to properly align and
format glosses (including `gb4e`, `ling-macros`, `linguex`, `expex`, and
probably even more). These modules vary in the complexity of their syntax and
the amount of control they give to the user of various aspects of formatting.
The `typst-leipzig-glossing` module is designed to provide utilities for
creating aligned Leipzig-style glosses in Typst, while keeping the syntax as
intuitive as possible and allowing users as much control over how their glosses
look as is feasible.
This pdf will show examples of the module's functionality and detail relevant
parameters. For more information or to inform devs of a bug or other issue,
visit the module's Github repository
