The neurotyp-pediatric extension generates PDF evaluation reports designed for pediatric neuropsychological assessments. Its layout and heading treatment reflect the conventions of developmental neuropsychology — section ordering, label language, and visual hierarchy are calibrated for child and adolescent evaluations rather than adapted from an adult template.

Install the extension

Run this command in an empty directory. Quarto scaffolds the full project structure, including _extensions/, _brand/, and template.qmd.
Quarto will ask you to confirm the directory name. Accept the default or enter a patient-specific folder name such as 2025-doe-jane/.

To update the extension after a new release:

Configure the report

Open template.qmd and fill in the patient’s metadata in the YAML front matter block.
See Front matter reference for a description of every field.

Pediatric-specific formatting

The neurotyp-pediatric extension differs from the adult format in the following ways:
  • Heading treatment — section headings use a slightly adjusted weight and spacing suited to developmental evaluation report conventions.
  • Section ordering — cognitive domain sections are ordered to reflect the sequence commonly used in pediatric batteries (attention and working memory precede executive function and processing speed).
  • Label language — section labels use developmentally appropriate terminology (for example, “Learning and Memory” rather than “Memory and New Learning”).
The Typst source files for pediatric formatting live in _extensions/neurotyp-pediatric/typst-template.typ and _extensions/neurotyp-pediatric/typst-show.typ. See Typst layout and typography reference before modifying these files directly.

Add cognitive domain sections

The master template.qmd uses Quarto include shortcodes to pull in domain-specific partial files. Edit _domains_to_include.qmd to select the sections relevant to this patient.
See Modular section partials for a full walkthrough.
