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 +#link("https://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/pdf/Glossing-Rules.pdf")[this link], +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.
