description Quarto CLI Overview
Quarto is less an IDE and more a modern, powerful document rendering engine that handles R code chunks beautifully. It allows users to write reports, articles, and websites using R code embedded in Markdown. Its strength is its universal output capability (PDF, HTML, Word) from a single source, making it ideal for final deliverables.
help Quarto CLI FAQ
Do I need RStudio to use the Quarto CLI?
No. Quarto can be run from a terminal and authored in RStudio, VS Code, JupyterLab, Positron, or a plain-text editor.
Can one Quarto file produce HTML, PDF, and Word output?
Yes. A .qmd source can target HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word, RevealJS, EPUB, and other Pandoc-based formats, although PDF output may require a TeX installation.
Does Quarto only run R code?
No. Quarto supports R through knitr and can execute Python, Julia, and other notebook code through Jupyter, with Observable JavaScript supported for interactive work.
What does Quarto add beyond R Markdown?
Quarto generalizes the publishing workflow beyond R and provides built-in projects for websites, books, blogs, and presentations. It also offers native features such as cross-references, callouts, citations, and multi-document configuration through _quarto.yml.
