Some use-cases for
typst eval(or previouslytypst query) include generating additional files. For example, with the touying package for presentations allows exporting speaker notes to a JSON file (docs). Users evaluatequery(<pdfpc-file>).first().valueto get the contents.While it's easy to use file redirection when running the command to output to a file, the main motivation for this is the output of dependencies when used in a Makefile (#8577).
This PR adds the
--output/-oargument. This is-(stdout) by default. If a file is specified, the output format will be inferred from the extension (similar totypst compile).One semi-related change to the output of the command is that it no longer outputs two final newlines when the output format is YAML.
