James Balamuta (@coatless.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2026-10-07): Well, would you settle for a pseudo-Quarto experience? I’ve already experimented a bit with {litedown} for that within a webR instance. Try:
pkg.yihui.org/litedown/pla…
I’m looking to adapt it to webRios/webRoid in v1.3. (We’ll be using Pyodios’ notebook interface to support it.) ↪

Repos are open but pre-release, and the API will change. Feedback welcome on GitHub.
