Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc that renders Markdown documents with embedded executable Python, R, Julia, and Observable JavaScript code. It supports output to HTML, PDF, MS Word, ePub, presentations, dashboards, websites, and books, with a project system and an extension ecosystem.

Use cases

  • render jupyter notebooks to html and pdf reports
  • write a reproducible data science report with embedded python code
  • build a documentation website or blog from markdown
  • create a multi-chapter technical book with cross-references
  • make revealjs or powerpoint presentations from markdown
  • convert r markdown workflows to a multi-language publishing system
  • publish dashboards with python or r and shiny
  • generate citations and cross-referenced figures in technical writing

When to choose

  • you need reproducible documents combining narrative text and executable code
  • you want one tool to publish to many formats (HTML, PDF, Word, ePub, slides)
  • you are building websites, blogs, or books from markdown with cross-references and citations
  • you work across Python, R, Julia, or Observable and want a unified authoring workflow

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose static site generator with heavy custom theming or JS frameworks
  • you only need simple markdown-to-html conversion without code execution
  • your pipeline depends on tooling incompatible with Pandoc-based rendering
