Description

For multipage SVG and PNG outputs, the Makefile rule generated with --make-deps contains the filename template with {p} (and {t}) instead of the actual output file(s) generated.

Example

Create a file lorem.typ:

#lorem(1500)

Compile it with:

typst compile lorem.typ --make-deps lorem.dep -f svg 'lorem-{p}.svg'

Three SVG files are generated: lorem-1.svg, lorem-2.svg and lorem-3.svg. The file lorem.dep contains the following result:

lorem-{p}.svg: lorem.typ

I believe it should contain instead:

lorem-1.svg lorem-2.svg lorem-3.svg: lorem.typ

Note that there is very little relevant documentation of the precise file format for the make rules, making this issue a bit difficult to verify. In all honesty, actually using make in this case with multiple outputs is painful. More modern alternatives like ninja-build do support depfiles with multiple outputs in this format. Alas, also that feature is not properly documented for ninja-build. It can be inferred from the unit tests of ninja-build (and from some experimentation) that it indeed supports rules with multiple outputs, see e.g.
