I'm trying to colour "•" across a whole document, except in some part where it should be coloured as the surrounding text. From the docs I expected the #show rule to apply locally, but it doesn't seem to work in this case:

#show "•": text.with(fill: red)

This is • red

#block[
#show "•": text.with(fill: blue)
#show "red": smallcaps
This is • red?
]

This is • red

#

?render

#show "•": text.with(fill: red)

This is • red

#block[
#show "•": text.with(fill: blue)
#show "red": smallcaps
This is • red?
]

This is • red

Seems to have something to do with the recursive problem that prevents defining "•" as itself, because if I replace it with another character then it picks up the colour too

Probably the same issue as this one https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/351

Subsequent `show x: set y` rules do not override previous ones · Is...

#show math.equation: set text(blue) #show math.equation: set text(red) $1 + 1 = 2$ This yields a blue equation, not a red equation. set rules do override properly: #set text(blue) #set text(red) $1...

It does seem related – is there a workaround?
