Algorithm Figure Width be Entire Page

[balltar]

If I use the example:

#figure(
  kind: "algorithm",
  supplement: [Algorithm],

  pseudocode-list(booktabs: true, numbered-title: [My cool algorithm])[
    + do something
    + do something else
    + *while* still something to do
      + do even more
      + *if* not done yet *then*
        + wait a bit
        + resume working
      + *else*
        + go home
      + *end*
    + *end*
  ]
) <cool>

Then is there some way to make the algorithm:

1. left aligned
2. have the horizontal lines span the entire page? I think it looked a little weird in my setting to have some empty space to the right of the algorithm.

However, I really love the idea of the package so I'd love to get this resolved to continue using it! :)

The left alignment you can probably do yourself by wrapping the whole algorithm in align.
For the lines spanning the whole width, I guess the rightmost column in the grid used for the pseudocode should get the width 1fr 🤔 Maybe someone would like to try this out.

cannot work when use align to the left. Could you provide some examples? I am not so familiar with typst.

I also encountered this problem. For now, I am temporarily solving it using a method similar to this.

  figure(
    kind: "algorithm",
    supplement: localized-term("算法", "Algorithm"),
    numbering: algorithm-numbering,
    outlined: false,
    caption: none,
    {
      show grid: it => {
        let cols = it.columns
        if type(cols) == array and cols.all(c => c == auto) and cols.len() > 0 {
          let f = it.fields()
          grid(
            columns: cols.slice(0, cols.len() - 1) + (1fr,),
            column-gutter: f.at("column-gutter", default: 0pt),
            row-gutter: f.at("row-gutter", default: 0pt),
            ..f.at("children", default: ()),
          )
        } else {
          it
        }
      }
      _pseudocode(
        booktabs: true,
        booktabs-stroke: 1pt + black,
        line-numbering: "1",
        stroke: none,
        title: context {
          let num = algorithm-numbering(counter(algorithm-figure).get().first())
          [*#localized-term("算法", "Algorithm") #num* #title]
        },
        ..preamble,
        ..body,
      )
    },
  )

I noticed that #25 was intended to address this issue, but it has been on hold for a long time. Can it be merged into the main branch? @andreasKroepelin

Furthermore, I feel that manually adding #h(1fr) to the title is still not a very good implementation method. It is not a formal API design, and I think it is necessary to consider adding a parameter similar to width to control it separately. Hopefully this can be considered in the next version. Thank you.

The algorithmic package by default stretches the algorithm figure to the linewidth. It looks much nicer than what lovelace does.

Indeed, I migrated to algorithmic a week ago.
