typst: width and height do not convert unitless numbers to inches

[cscheid]

Explain the problem.

The typst writer doesn't automatically convert unitless dimensions to inches, but Typst doesn't like unitless dimensions. This behavior is inconsistent with (eg) the latex writer:

$ pandoc -f markdown -t typst
![](./foo.png){width=640 height=480}
^D
#box(image("./foo.png", height: 480, width: 640))
$ pandoc -f markdown -t latex
![](./foo.png){width=640 height=480}
^D
\includegraphics[width=6.66667in,height=5in]{./foo.png}

Pandoc version?

I used 3.2 and didn't see anything relevant on the 3.2.1 changelog (still compiling 3.2.1 locally...):

$ pandoc --version

I'd work on a PR, but apparently I can't get Pandoc to compile right now:

$ git pull origin main && cabal update && cabal build pandoc-cli

Hi, there are also problems for px which are valid input from markdown but invalid units in Typst. It seems the Typst writer could handle both cases; again LaTeX handles both these cases converting to inches:

➪ pandoc -t latex

![Caption](image.png){width=100 height=100}                    

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=1.04167in,height=1.04167in]{image.png}
\caption{Caption}
\end{figure}
                                                                                                                
➪ pandoc -t latex

![Caption](image.png){width=100px height=100px}    

\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[width=1.04167in,height=1.04167in]{image.png}
