It's what's used for the HackMD presentations. It's what's used for the `Readme.md` documentation files. --- ## Why Quarto? Quarto is an open source publishing system for technical and scientific documents. It implements Markdown, allowing for integration with multiple languages, (e.g. R and Python). Meant as a non-R-focused replacement for RMarkdown. It allows: - automated reports with dynamic fields based on data inputs - clear code and results documentation - presentations with direct code outputs - etc. --- ## Quarto workflow  (source: https://quarto.org/docs/faq/rmarkdown.html) Quarto file -- .Qmd Markdown file -- .md Final output -- .html/tex/pdf/others (Note: it was similar for RMarkdown, with Rmd instead of qmd) --- # Let's check in RStudio Let's start a Quarto project (notice we can include `git` and `renv`!) (Prefer Python? [Check here!](https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/hello/jupyter.html)) --- ## Some reading [Quarto guide](https://quarto.org/docs/guide/)
