Quarto markdown files

Use Quarto markdown (.qmd) files to write your contents, following the standard Markdown syntax with the additional features to run computations, similarly to Rmarkdown.

Running computations

You can include code chunks between ```{r} and ``` markers (with the name of the language between { }), and the code as well as its output will be included, e.g. in R:

x <- seq(0, 10, 0.1)
plot(x, cos(x))

R, Python and Julia programming languages are supported, e.g. in Python:

a = []
for i in range(10):
    a.append(2*i)
print(a)

Note:

• Running R codes requires the knitr R package.
• Running Python codes requires the reticulate R package when using Rstudio, and the jupyter Python package when using the command line interface.

Additional tips

You can include markdown (.md) files inside .qmd file with the following {{< include my_file.md >}}.
