About:
Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system that enables authors to create dynamic documents, reports, presentations, and websites. It seamlessly integrates with Python, R, Julia, and Observable, allowing for a multi-language workflow. Built on top of Pandoc, it offers powerful features for narrative and computational content in a single source document.
Key Features:
  • Multi-language support (Python, R, Julia, JS)
  • Single-source authoring for multiple output formats
  • Interactive data visualization and widgets
  • Integrated authoring tools for books and websites
Use Cases:
  • Creating reproducible data science reports
  • Building academic papers with embedded code and results
  • Developing interactive dashboards and documentation sites
Alternatives:
  • R Markdown – Quarto is the spiritual successor, designed to be language-agnostic and work natively outside the R ecosystem.
  • Jupyter Notebooks – Quarto focuses on source-to-output rendering (like LaTeX) rather than a stateful interactive cell interface.
