Quarto
An open source technical publishing system for beautiful documents
Quarto is an open-source, multi-language technical publishing system that lets users create articles, websites, blogs, books, and presentations using Python, R, Julia, and JavaScript. It builds on R Markdown concepts and integrates with tools like Jupyter, VS Code, and RStudio to produce reproducible, high-quality output in formats such as HTML, PDF, Word, and ePub. It supports interactive data exploration via Observable JS, Jupyter Widgets, and Shiny.
Users author documents in plain-text markdown or Jupyter notebooks with embedded code, and Quarto renders them to multiple output formats using engines like knitr, Jupyter, and QuartoNotebookRunner.
