Quarto: Elevating R Markdown for Advanced Publishing | Christophe Dervieux

In the dynamic landscape of data analysis and scientific publishing, R Markdown has been pivotal for the R community, allowing users to seamlessly blend code, narrative and results in a cohesive narrative. Now, Quarto emerges as a powerful tool that builds on years of experience but also goes beyond R Markdown, providing more flexibility and power in scientific communication. This talk aims to present Quarto as the new alternative for scientific publishing. We will delve into how Quarto enhances the user experience for R enthusiasts, maintaining the syntax familiarity of R Markdown while introducing innovative and improved functionalities across multiple formats, similar to R Markdown ones. Why switch to Quarto from R Markdown? In which cases? How does Quarto integrate with existing workflows?
