Quarto Overview

What is Quarto?

What is the purpose of Quarto (and it’s equivalent systems)?

• How does Quarto improve reproducibility? What are some examples?

Basic syntax (generate a pdf)

• A basic CV or “About me” document:

• Formatting: headings, lists, bold and italics

• Embed an image, generate a table, headings, italics and bold face

Upgrading to a website

• Minimal changes required due to Quarto’s cross-output capabilities

• A website could: be an about page (your elevator pitch - an ideal pinned repo), a lab on-boarding page, or a walkthrough of a method with output (“showcasing your story”).

Preview and Render, git and Publishing

• Practice practice practice! Theme, styles.

• Publishing with github pages.

Practically, what will we do today?

Everyone will generate a pdf and a published website.

We will demonstrate how to incorporate code and text notes into a document.
