In this tutorial we’ve demonstrated previewing rendered output in a pane within VS Code. See Amy Cesal’s article on Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization to learn more. One particularly useful cell option for figures is fig-alt, which enables you to add alternative text to images for users with visual impairments. YAML OptionsĪt the top of the file there is a YAML block with document level options. There are few different types of content in hello.qmd, let’s work a bit with each type. Click that button to execute the cell (output is shown side by side in the Jupyter interactive console):Įxecute the current cell with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, the current line(s) with Ctrl+Enter, or previous cells with Ctrl+Alt+P (note that on the Mac you should use Cmd rather than Ctrl as the prefix for all Quarto keyboard shortcuts). You’ll notice that there is a Run Cell button above the code cell. You don’t need to fully render documents in order to iterate on code cells. See the documentation on Render on Save for additional details. If you prefer, you can configure the Quarto extension to render whenever you save a document. You do not need to save the file before rendering (as this happens automatically when you render). This is the basic workflow for authoring with Quarto. Re-render the file (using Quarto: Render or the Ctrl+Shift+K shortcut) The document is rendered, and the browser preview is updated. Py -m pip install jupyter matplotlib plotly Python3 -m pip install jupyter matplotlib plotly The tutorials will make use of the matplotlib and plotly Python packages-the commands you can use to install them are given in the table below. This is the basic model for Quarto publishing-take a source document and render it to a variety of output formats, including HTML, PDF, MS Word, etc. The document on the left is rendered into the HTML version you see on the right. Here’s what it might look like in VS Code to edit and preview a. qmd files contain a combination of markdown and executable code cells. For the purposes of learning we recommend you work through this tutorial using the VS Code text editor, then after you’ve mastered the basics explore using the other editing modes. Depending on your preferences and the task at hand there are two other editing modes available for Quarto documents: the Visual Editor and the Notebook Editor. This tutorial focuses on editing plain text Quarto.
