 Quarto bundles the [quarto-orange-book](https://github.com/quarto-ext/orange-book) extension, which [bundles](#typst-gather) the Typst [orange-book](https://typst.app/universe/package/orange-book) package. Orange-book provides a textbook-style layout with colored chapter headers and sidebars.
 
 ## Article Layout in Typst
 
-Also in Quarto 1.9, all [Article Layout](https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/article-layout.html) features now work in Typst, via the Typst [Marginalia](https://typst.app/universe/package/marginalia/) package.

 Specifically:

 * Figures, tables, code listings, and equations can be placed in the margin using the `.column-margin` class.
 * Figure, table, and code listing captions can be placed in the margin with `cap-location: margin`
 * Footnotes and citations can be displayed in the margin with `reference-location: margin` and `citation-location: margin`. When margin citations are enabled, the bibliography is suppressed.

 Quarto 1.9 automatically stages Typst packages — from your extensions, from Quarto's bundled extensions, and from Quarto itself — into the `.quarto/` cache directory before calling `typst compile`. This means Typst documents render offline without needing network access.
 
-To make this work, extension authors use the new [`typst-gather`](/docs/advanced/typst/typst-gather.qmd) tool, which scans their `.typ` files for `@preview` imports and downloads the packages into the extension directory. Authors run `quarto call typst-gather` and commit the results — users of the extension don't need to do anything. This means [Custom Typst Formats](/docs/output-formats/typst-custom.qmd#custom-formats) can depend on Typst packages without copying and pasting Typst code, making them simpler and easier to maintain.
