1. Welcome to the Quarto Workshop
Welcome to the Quarto workshop, initially designed for the LMU OSC Summer School 2023.
Structure and Workflow of the Workshop
This is a self-paced tutorial of about 2 hours aimed at early-career researchers. It covers the absolute basics of the scientific and technical publishing system Quarto while using R in RStudio.
The workshop is structured in 4 consecutive parts you can navigate to on the top of the website, on the sidebar, or with the arrows at the bottom of each page:
- Welcome to the Quarto Workshop (you are here now)
- Quarto Tutorials from the official Quarto project
- Tips and Comments from our own experiences of using Quarto
- Advanced Exercises that are more challenging than the beginner Quarto tutorials
- Links to further resources
The Quarto project provides well written tutorials (Quarto “Getting Started”) and online documentation (Quarto “Guide”). Instead of reinventing the wheel, we will heavily link to these resources.
