Introduction to Quarto
Summary of the course
Quarto was released in 2022 as the next generation for RMarkdown for everyone as it can be used equally by R users as well as Python which renders plain text formats (quarto .qmd, RMarkdown .rmd, markdown .md) or mixed formats (.ipynb/Jupyter notebook) into static PDF/Word/HTML reports, books, websites, presentations and more.
The course will be run over two half days and is aimed at analysts who are familiar with R and RStudio, perhaps having completed the Introduction to R and RStudio training through the NHS-R Community. The format of the course follows the outline that was originally created for RMarkdown and can be used as a reference to work between the two reporting tools.
