Closeread: bringing Scrollytelling to Quarto
summary
Closeread is a Quarto extension that actually implements scrollytelling: it produces two‑column or overlay layouts, lets authors mark content as CR section stickies that stay centered, and attaches triggers to paragraphs to do highlighting, cross‑fading, panning and scaling of text, images and code. Examples recreate a NYT poem layout, zoom and pan Tufte’s Napoleon map, and drive an Observable JS globe via a CR progress block variable; the extension runs and demos work.
