@djnavarro I am using a pre-render script to format a bib file into something I can use for custom listing in my website. 😎

You can use post-render to move your whole rendered projects elsewhere for example.

@djnavarro ahh very glad to hear my random comment was helpful!

@grrrck @djnavarro Just what I needed for my book project, thanks for sharing this!

Is it possible to specify in the .yml to only post-render the "html" target?

At the moment I need to catch the "pdf" and "epub" targets in the shell script because only the "html" needs improvements.

@zeileis in post-render you can access the environment variable “QUARTO_PROJECT_OUTPUT_FILES”.
You can use it to write conditional post-render script(s) using TypeScript, LUA, bash, R, and Python.

@MickaelCanouil That's really handy, thanks for the link. Based on this I could also simplify the script itself.

@djnavarro I… I thought you'd… I mean, it's no big deal, right, but I thought you'd use a Makefile for this (he said, trying hard not to sound just a little bit deflated in the way one would after discovering that someone did not, in fact, fall head over heels in love with their favorite band).

@gvwilson I mean, I probably should right?

(In 100% honesty the main reason I haven't started using Make for this is that I haven't quite worked out the best way to build a site using the quarto CLI tool instead of pushing the magic buttons in RStudio 😬 ... which, now that I say it out loud... yeah, I should really get my act together and wrap my head around that)
