Rahul (@rsangole; 15/2): Over the weekend, I ported my #rstats site from {blogdown} to {quarto}. Though I started the endeavor quite apprehensive, it was such an easy and seamless transfer from old to new.

Tom Mock ❤️ Quarto (@thomas_mock; 6/0): @ryderdavid Thanks for using the #QuartoPub hashtag!

Not currently one that converts all of YAML but for chunk options use dev knitr: knitr::convert_chunk_header(“doc.qmd”, output = identity)

Some complexity:
Old .rmd YAML doesn’t map 1:1 with .qmd, whereas knitr is backwards compatible. ↪

EHolmes (@eeholm; 1/0): This shows how to dynamically create tables that have table numbers and table captions across all formats (well, there is a bug for flextable+Word, but Quarto knows about it). It uses the knitr::knit_expand() trick which allow dynamic vars as {{https://t.co/iydNWsEPuj.match}} ↪

Tom Mock ❤️ Quarto (@thomas_mock; 1/0): @sharoz @charliejhadley @rstudio The traditional knitr syntax will always work, so no need to force a change.

The screenshot below shows how long strings are better suited to the YAML style chunk options as opposed to trying to fit it ALL into 1 line in ```{r long text string that goes on forever w/ soft wrap} https://t.co/dAEYloiUV8 ↪

Tom Mock ❤️ Quarto (@thomas_mock; 1/0): @sharoz @charliejhadley @rstudio “prefer” here is indicating that the Quarto docs will only show that syntax. It’s cross-language (R/Py/Julia) whereas {r echo=TRUE} is knitr only.

The #| syntax also adds auto-completion and descriptions to the chunk options and means that YAML is consistent with chunk options. ↪

Ronny Bergmann @ GAMM (@ronnybergmann_; 1/0): @MickaelCanouil @_tarleb @quarto_pub …and don’t get me wrong, whoever wants to use Jupyter or knitr should please do that. I feel I have more python versions installed than I ever used it – and no experience with R, so I would prefer to not spent (probably much) time setting that up. ↪

Mickaël CANOUIL (@MickaelCanouil; 1/0): @ronnybergmann_ @_tarleb @quarto_pub Of course, Jupyter is the best kernel when one wants to use Python, but for all (or almost) other cases knitr will work smoothly (it relies on the R package of the same name, thus on R itself as well). ↪

Mickaël CANOUIL (@MickaelCanouil; 1/0): @ronnybergmann_ @_tarleb @quarto_pub Depending on the main language, you have to set a kernel/engine which is going to be used for the whole document.
Julia has a dedicated kernel.
For Python, indeed there is Jupyter.
For R, there is knitr.
Each of those kernel supports several languages. ↪
