Reproducible, dynamic, and elegant books with Quarto

" summary

Three concrete workflows for Quarto books with evidence and tooling: one book produces HTML and PDF from one source using SCSS plus LaTeX environments and manual page breaks to match styles; index generation uses index tags and Quarto’s two-pass PDF render; accessibility gaps across ~419 ggplot calls are found with a parsermd snippet that lists offending chunk labels; r for data science runs nightly GitHub Actions rebuilds (11pm) without freeze to catch breakages; a multi‑language book embeds separate R and Python notebooks to execute each engine independently.
