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 from scratch. We will highlight the following feautures of Quarto websites:

• _quarto.yml

• index.qmd & about.qmd / landing page / change landing page

• Navigation

• Freeze

• An aspect of the workshop webpage that you fancy?

Your turn

Pick up where we left off and

• Add your details to the about page about page.
