The solar-powered Quarto project is making progress. The pre-render python script to dither and downsize images works :).

Context:
Quarto is a scientific/ technical publishing system. Among other things, it allows you to create static websites from a mixture of R/ Python/ Julia/ ObservableJS and Markdown. I'm trying to create a Quarto setup for a static website with a very minimal footprint to run on a small solar-powered server.

How do you do <some thing> in Quarto?
This app lets you ask natural language questions about Quarto tips I've rounded up over the years. Note it's not the complete Quarto docs! Just things I've thought were interesting or cool or I've looked up repeatedly

Built in R Shiny with the {shinychat}, {ragnar} & {ellmer} #RStats s

New blog post from me about:

What is Observable?
Why should R users care?
How do you use both together to make interactive charts?

I don't teach in Spring and it's the season of giving talks. I have a GitHub repo for each set of slides. Many procedural tasks became so repetitive over time that I created a template repo for my talks. #QuartoPub and #rstats users might possibly find it useful.

Introducing multi-root workspace support: the Quarto Wizard now casts its spell across multiple realms!
(Currently as pre-release: 0.15.0)

Once upon a time, in the land of Quarto, there lived a wise and benevolent Quarto Wizard. One day, whilst exploring the ancient libraries, he stumbled upon a magical listing of Quarto extensions. Recognising its immense value, he decided to share it with the people. With a flick of his wand, he made it possible to install these extensions with just a few clicks.

Today's diversion: turning my team's internal documentation wiki into a #QuartoPub book we can share with other folks in the organisation.

Ended up being about ~200 lines of #RStats to translate Azure Devops' wiki file structure into something that Quarto can render. Seems to work pretty well currently when targeting a HTML book, but leaves something to be desired when rendering to docx.

Code (but not wiki content) is on GitHub: https://github.com/wurli/azure-wiki-to-quarto/blob/main/azure-wiki-to-quarto.R

Not sure if this already exist, but I created a #quartopub filter which adds a domain preview to each link in a quarto html document. Might come in handy for accessibility.

Quick #RStats #RStudio #Quarto question: With the latest version of RStudio, is it still necessary to download quarto separately or is it included?

Disclaimer: I read the websites of both and it wasn't clear to me, possibly due to a lack of deductive skills. I could find out myself by uninstalling and reainstalling, but I'm too lazy to mess up my setup.

I'm brewing something special for you! Get ready for a game-changing enhancement coming to Quarto Wizard. Soon, you'll have MORE INFO about extensions right at your fingertips.

Keep your wands ready and your VSCode open—magic is on the horizon!

Stay tuned for more details!

Is it possible to completely recreate a bootstrap website in quarto? The goal is to use as much of quarto's own divs and spans, etc. as possible with some {html} code chunks. #RStats #QuartoPub

I'm excited to announce the pre-release of Quarto Wizard 0.7.0! While this version focuses on internal changes designed to improve the overall experience, rest assured these updates are paving the way for bigger and better features in the future.

Stay tuned! Your patience and support are invaluable as I continue to refine and enhance Quarto Wizard.
