# Content A piece of document content. This type is at the heart of Typst. All markup you write and most [functions]($function) you call produce content values. You can create a content value by enclosing markup in square brackets. This is also how you pass content to functions. # Example ```example Type of *Hello!* is #type([*Hello!*]) ``` Content can be added with the `+` operator, [joined together]($scripting/#blocks) and multiplied with integers. Wherever content is expected, you can also pass a [string]($str) or `{none}`. # Representation Content consists of elements with fields. When constructing an element with its _element function,_ you provide these fields as arguments and when you have a content value, you can access its fields with [field access syntax]($scripting/#field-access). Some fields are required: These must be provided when constructing an element and as a consequence, they are always available through field access on content of that type. Required fields are marked as such in the documentation. Most fields are optional: Like required fields, they can be passed to the element function to configure them for a single element. However, these can also be configured with [set rules]($styling/#set-rules) to apply them to all elements within a scope. Optional fields are only available with field access syntax when they were explicitly passed to the element function, not when they result from a set rule. Each element has a default appearance. However, you can also completely customize its appearance with a [show rule]($styling/#show-rules). The show rule is passed the element. It can access the element's field and produce arbitrary content from it. In the web app, you can hover over a content variable to see exactly which elements the content is composed of and what fields they have. Alternatively, you can inspect the output of the [`repr`] function.
