Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc.

The quarto package provides an R interface to frequently used operations in the Quarto Command Line Interface (CLI). The package is not a requirement for using Quarto with R. Rather, it provides an R interface to common Quarto operations for users who prefer to work in the R console rather than a terminal, and for package authors that want to programatically interface with Quarto.

Before using the Quarto R package, you should install the Quarto CLI from https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/.
