Anatomy of a Quarto project

Quarto projects

  • Quarto projects have a _quarto.yml file

  • The type field in this file indicates the type of project:

    • default: Collection of documents

    • website: Websites (and blogs)

    • books: Books 😃

Quarto websites

  • Websites are essentially format: html + a Quarto Project

  • But a website is different than format: html in that it has multiple pages

  • Websites are our first exploration into Quarto Projects

  • Websites and books are very similar in that they associate multiple pages/resources into a connected resource

Our turn

Let’s build a website together. We will highlight the following features of Quarto websites:

  • _quarto.yml

  • index.qmd / landing page

  • Navigation

Your turn

Pick up where we left off and

  • Add your details to the about page (index.qmd) about page.
