Finally coming around to explore the options of R + Quarto + Typst to have stronger control over the page layout, placement of figures, etc. that is causing some issues with company internal preferences.

The following is a carry forward from the documentation for the YAML of the Quarto document. And some very basic placeholder text.

---
title: "Air Connectivity"
format: 
  typst:
    papersize: a4
    toc: true
    toc-indent: 1.5em
    number-sections: true

Obviously, the indentation of the table-of-contents fails. Diving deeper into the documentation and searching for help on the internet did not get me over this 'really simple' requirement. Quarto typst documentation suggests that the value 1.5em is even the default (behaviour). Changing output format to us-letter or other formats had not result. I guess this is something very basic ... and I just cannot spot what goes wrong.
