Welcome!

This guide serves as a quick place to look for how to do different things when making Quarto documents. Keep in mind that part of Open Science is creating reproducible work. Quarto provides a great way to achieve that aim.

Note

This guide is not meant to be an all-inclusive, answer-every-question, show-how-to-do-everything guide. Rather this guide is meant to give you some quick highlights for going about several common tasks. We recommend also spending time at the official Quarto Guide looking through those materials for additional examples.

I’ve structured this guide in several key sections.

• Key Elements of Quarto
  1. YAML Headers
  2. Code
  3. Narrative Text
• Data Visualizations
  4. Figures
  5. Tables
• Additional Aspects of Open Science
  6. Cross-Referencing
  7. Author Contributions
  8. References
  9. Code Appendix
