Typst: Strong emphasis function cannot take multiline variable

[axelkar]

Explain the problem.

When trying to pass a multiline (so not #let foo = [bar baz]) content variable to the strong emphasis function, pandoc errors while typst does not.

pandoc --from typst --to html5 --no-highlight

#let foo = [
  bar baz
]
*#foo*
// Also this:
//#strong(foo)

It errors with the following error:

(line 1, column 2): unexpected Elt {eltName = Identifier "parbreak", eltPos = Just (line 1, column 2),
eltFields = fromList []} or Elt {eltName = Identifier "strong", eltPos = Just (line 1, column 2), eltFields
= fromList [(Identifier "body",VContent (fromList [Elt {eltName = Identifier "text", eltPos = Just (line 1,
column 2), eltFields = fromList [(Identifier "body",VContent (fromList [Txt "\nbar baz"]))]},Elt {eltName
= Identifier "parbreak", eltPos = Just (line 1, column 2), eltFields = fromList []}]))]}
expecting end of input
Pattern match failure in 'do' block at src/Text/Pandoc/Readers/Typst.hs:108:26-33

Pandoc version?
pandoc version 3.2 on https://pandoc.org/try

It's not entirely clear how we should handle this (though certainly we shouldn't have a pattern match failure!).

Pandoc's Strong element can only contain inline content, and a typst block could be e.g. several paragraphs and a bullet list. That just can't go inside a Strong. I suppose we could add Strong to the inline contents of these things.
