Subject: [PATCH] tools: add Typst bold/italic parse-tree diagnostic script
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Paste typst-bold-italic-diag.js into the browser console while a Typst
document containing *bold* and _italic_ is open to determine whether
Strong/Emphasis nodes are being produced by the grammar (grammar issue)
or whether the nodes exist but bold/italic is not visually rendered
(font issue — Source Code Pro only loads Regular 400).
