📣 I launched my first newsletter! It's free and I'll be using it to send a little email note any time I publish a blog post, publication, talk, or project on my #quarto site.
Quarto R package version 1.4 is here 📦✨ The main feature is a new vignette engine that allows you to use quarto as a vignette builder and use .qmd files as vignettes!
The package also includes more enhancements for compatibility with the Quarto CLI 1.4 🔥💻
The #PositConf2024 schedule is out! I'll be presenting on using Sverto and other ways to make animated web graphics in #QuartoPub, and my colleague Andrew Bray will be presenting Closeread, a Quarto scrollytelling extension that we've been cooking up!
@minecr shared invaluable insights during her webinar for R/Medicine. Some key highlights from the session include:
• Step-by-step instructions for getting started with a new manuscript project
• Obtaining multiple formats from one source
• Embedding computations from supplementary notebooks
• And more!
I fancy using #Mastodon as a comment system for my blog but the solutions I found were made for #Hugo. How bad would it be if I reused them in my #Quarto blog?
I did that thing where I tried to write a blog post and ended up writing a #QuartoPub extension. As one does.
And then I wrote a blog post about the extension instead of the blog post about the other thing. Oh and I also didn't finish the draft blog post I've been sitting on for 5 months, either.
But hey, here's a neat Quarto shortcode for adding a date anywhere in your blog or document or whatnot!
You can now host #Quarto sites on Hugging Face using the new Quarto Space template.
#HuggingFace is the most used open platform for AI. We think that #QuartoPub is one of the best frameworks for scientific writing, making it a perfect tool for the Hugging Face community.
We’re very proud to support Hugging Face’s effort to build AI models under #OpenSource licenses and we can’t wait to see what people build! 🤝

I've been searching resources and materials to make my Quarto presentations and website more accessible to visually impaired students and users. But, I wanted to reach out the R community to ask if anyone has more materials, knowledge or just opinions on how to improve accessibility using Quarto. I've found some blogs by Quarto users but I haven't found too many options. #QuartoPub#accessibility#webdev#stats
Anyone happen to know a totally non-technical tutorial for creating a #QuartoPub website? Like for someone who should be using Wordpress but wants to use #quarto 😁. Deployed to Netlify. No Github. Finding lots of nice tutorials, but all are still a bit more technical than what I want. Tagging a few folks who might know: @jadeynryan@nrennie@andrew
How do you insert a thin (1/6em) space between number and unit in #QuartoPub?
U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE
or
, inside a math formula (noting that siunitx isn't available in mathjax)
or something else?
(I am almost tempted to insert a visible symbol with a keyboard shortcut, such as ␣, and have a lua filter replace it on the fly with U+202F before rendering.
I'm struggling a bit with using metadata in quarto. I have a project that includes some custom metadata of the form
key1:
key2:
key3a: true
key3b: false
and so on. I would like to be able to overwrite some of these when rendering to modify which parts of the document are included in the output via
{.content-hidden unless-meta="key1.key2.key3a"}
I've tried to do that using something along the lines of
quarto render -M key1.key2.key3a:false, but that appears to have no effect.
Any advice on how to make this work, or how to achieve the same effect in a different way would be much appreciated.
The release brings new formats for dashboards and Typst, a new manuscript project type, a cross-reference overhaul, Shiny for Python support, and a ton of other updates.
