What is Quarto®?

Quarto® is an

open-source

scientific and technical

publishing system

built by Posit.

Quarto Goals

A schematic representing the multi-language input (e.g. Python, R, Observable, Julia) and multi-format output (e.g. PDF, html, Word documents, and more) versatility of Quarto.
  • Create computational documents that hold source code for automation and reproducibility
  • Reduce how difficult it is to make and collaborate on a scientific document
  • Enable “single-source publishing” — create Word, PDFs, HTML, etc. from one source

  • Consistent implementation of attractive and handy features across outputs: tabsets, code-folding, syntax highlighting, etc.
  • More accessible defaults as well as better support for accessibility
  • Guardrails, particularly helpful for new learners: YAML completion, informative syntax errors, etc.
  • Support for other languages like Python, Julia, Observable, and more via Jupyter engine for executable code chunks.
