What problem do you want to solve?

import pandas as pd
import maketables as mt

df = pd.DataFrame({"A": ["1"]}, index=["x ≤ 5"])
print(mt.MTable(df, notes="p ≥ 0.1").make(type="typst"))

Observed: [x $$≤$$ 5] and p $$≥$$ 0.1. Expected: $≤$ and $≥$, which is the Typst form in symbols.SYMBOLS.

_output_typst calls _translate_symbols(..., "typst") on the finished table twice, one call straight after the other. The Typst forms of ≤ and ≥ contain the symbol itself, so the second pass wraps them again. The document still compiles: $$ is an empty equation, so the result is two empty equations around a text-mode ≤, not a math-mode symbol. The other symbols (R², ×, Greek letters, ±, °) map to strings without the original character, so the second pass leaves them alone.

Fix

Remove the duplicated call.

Tests

test_typst_translates_each_symbol_once is parametrized over every key in SYMBOLS and checks that the row label renders as exactly SYMBOLS[s]["typst"]. 2 of the 9 cases (≤, ≥) fail on main, and all 9 pass with the fix. The test checks the generated source rather than compiling it, because both the buggy and the fixed output compile. Full suite: 507 passed, and all 135 snapshots are unchanged. pre-commit and ty are clean.
