Quarto: A Multifaceted Publishing Powerhouse for Medical Researchers

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Quarto enables generating a report, manuscript (PDF via a PLOS template), and presentation (reveal.js or PPTX output) from one source by using shared YAML, modular QMD analysis files, and embed and include shortcodes so a single figure update re-renders everywhere; examples show three project outputs produced from one index.qmd and shortcoded analysis, saving repeated copy‑paste. Built workflow integrates GitHub, Zotero, Hypothesis; tables sometimes break with embed shortcodes and initial setup is nontrivial, but the system works and speeds reuse.
