With Quarto Coming, is R Markdown Going Away? No. | /en/2022/04/quarto-r-markdown/

If you present a .txt file, that will probably become the new trend. Great post as always.

Presenting with .txt? I will give it a try. My students may learn something about p-value (slide 10) instead of trying to figure out what I meant when I showed an image of a cat on my Title slide....
... Slide 10:
Student X - Did you see the cat in the title slide?
Student Y - Yes, weird right?
Student X - Super!

Cats can live in .txt, too: https://www.asciiart.eu/animals/cats You are welcome! :)

The summary I have been waiting for - being confused about To Quarto or Not to Quarto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_texts_of_Shakespeare%27s_works)

I've been using xaringan for a few years (and I like it - well done!) but I do end up hacking it about a lot to do extra ninja stuff. I feel with Quarto I should maybe switch to revealjs (I'm not a minimalist). Currently that would 'only' entail converting 20 lectures (because they get updated every year). (In R) both are created from the same markdown, correct? So, what are the key things (if any) that might break if someone tried to render a markdown file created for xaringan using quarto's format: revealjs?

Hi Yihui, I discovered Quarto last week and was convinced easily to switch my bookdowns to it. Did a quick test and worked like charm. I had problems recently with my bookdowns (with the left menu) and never had the time to investigate it. I appreciated the multiple parameters to edit the theme, and I appreciate the integration of Observable JS, I'm looking forward to add some interactive content to my books.

Im quite familiar with rmarkdown for documents but now I'm looking to learn a tool for presentations. I was almost convinced to learn quarto and revealjs instead of Xaringan, but now I'm in doubt again! Damnit

Thanks for the writeup! That Rhakim plot resonated with me. I started with Jekyll, moved to blogdown, found my site broke after a year of neglect and moved 6 mo ago to distill only to discover quarto this week. Hopefully my journey ends with quarto and I stop writing (and reading) blog posts about why i (and others) switched blogging frameworks.

Your point about Hugo's speed is the only thing that I haven't liked about Distill. Seems like quarto renders the whole site from scratch, but I don't quite know what's happening. Is there a design in the future where quarto will only re-render files that have changed?

Hi, 老谢。
我用中文说。不知道官方这是搞什么鬼。为什么非要弄出个这么个玩意。

"it is by design that each Quarto book chapter file is rendered in a new session" -- this means when writing a book, all chapters should be in a single .qmd file if reference across chapter is necessary? Or manual merge before render is needed.

Hi,

When adding this and rendering locally; it is giving error. How to render locally and publish directly to github from local machine rather rendering on github. Please help.

I am always blown away of how humble this amazing person, Yihui Xie, is...
Despite standing shoulder to shoulder to all GOATS, he is always, always supportive, positive, and most important, humble.
I have seen him counseling countless individuals, regardless of how lame the question was.
I am grateful to have benefited from his work and advice. And I hope he'll continue being the person that he is.
My message here is simply to say Thank You! And to say what many of us think but doesn't get out there as much as should, Rmd still rules. Perhaps Quarto will win some newbies and Pythonistas on its side, but objectively, at the moment, it is just a child on steroids. Rmd is a versed warrior, scarred and limping at times, but unafraid of learning new styles :)
