Quarto - tips and tricks

In this video about R programming Greg and Andrew (from Equitable Equations - see link below) talk through some tips and tricks when it comes to using Quarto in R Studio. Quarto is similar to R markdown but much more user friends. It allows you to create a finished document (word, PDF or slides) inside the R studio environment. So if you are into data analysis, data science, statistics or research and want to be able to create beautiful documents using R programming. Check out this video.

What a pleasure to have two R experts in the same video. Thanks for sharing.

Commendable effort in introducing quarto. Looking forward to your future presentations on this topic.

For instructional purposes, I learned from Professor Mine Cetinkaya-Rundel the following options for html documents must likely you are already aware of. These options
reduce the size of the html document (self-contained: true, embed-resourses: true). They also create a table of contents with numbered sections (toc:true, number-sections: true), and they provide a bottom the user can press to display the code used. The latter option only works if you opt for echo:true in each code chunk.


format:

html:

self-contained: true

embed-resources: true

toc: true

number-sections: true
code-fold: true

Thanks. But you don't have to change screen to show the slides. You can show the presentation in the lower right pane, the tap beside the Viewer.

There are a bunch of slides templates out there for Quarto that are worth checking out. I would love to ditch powerpoint for quarto slides but I am not there yet (I have ditched word (for LaTeX) and excel (for R) unless someone sends me those to read (then I open them with the mac native programs).

infact, you are the best R tutor. Please, do you have any video too on python or any recommended video'...

Quarto reminds me of LaTeX but with code.
