Tom Mock | Quarto for the Curious | RStudio (2022)

Are you curious about Quarto? Maybe you saw it on Twitter or the RStudio::conf agenda. Perhaps this raised questions like: What exactly is Quarto? What about RMarkdown? (don’t worry it’s not going away!) What features does Quarto add? What should I do with my existing Rmd/ipynb files?
This talk will answer all of those questions and more! I’ll present Quarto as a next-gen version of RMarkdown, compare the similarities, and then discuss the new features in Quarto for publishing documents, presentations, blog posts, lab notebooks and more! Lastly, I’ll cover what this means for our customers using RStudio Team, and the exciting new world for Python users.

Thanks for these insights, Tom. The integration and the development of Quarto bring a lot of benefits not only to Posit, but are very welcome by all developers, who want to build solutions that are accessible, open and not locked in to a certain programming language. I love it and can't wait to start learning to use Quarto. Very nice.

Is there a way to get the .qmd of the document at minute 17? Would be really helpful to get some inspiration on how to make a pdf look even better.

I hope there is an option to keep the tex file when rendering with pdf.

Tom, Would you describe Quarto as a "Rosetta Stone" of markdown documents?

[@haraldurkarlsson1147]

Hundred years? Nothing last that long today. I would say ten years would even be stretching it before quantum computing kicks in and another information revolution starts...
