Introduction to Quarto for Scholarly Publishing

About this Class

This class is designed for those who want to extend the basics of R Markdown and apply those skills in Quarto. Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system that offers multilingual programming language support to create dynamic and static documents, books, presentations, blogs, and other online resources.

In this class you will learn about the similarities and differences between R-markdown and Quarto. You will also learn how to use Quarto to render documents in multiple formats, with a focus on scholarly publishing. Upon completion of this class participants will be able to distinguish between R-markdown and Quarto, identify publishing workflows using markdown, demonstrate the differences between the visual and source editors, create basic markdown elements, learn how to create and run code-blocks, and render a markdown document in multiple formats.
